There'll be a wait until we learn the outcome of today's court case between expelled Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and her former party.
The High Court at Wellington today heard arguments relating to the MP's expulsion from the party last year, which followed allegations she misused party funds.
Newstalk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths says Kapa-Kingi's lawyers suggest the party was trying to hold her responsible for comments by her activist son, Eru Kapa-Kingi, who called out Te Pāti Māori's leadership.
"Kapa-Kingi's lawyers say that she's not remotely responsible for her son's comments."
The court's decision has been reserved.
