Show Notes
Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is known for unapologetically fighting for the rights of Māori.
The co-leader of Te Pati Māori never shies away from speaking her mind -- especially when it comes to social and climate justice.
Since becoming co-leader in 2020, and MP for Te Tai Hauauru at the last election, she’s been suspended from Parliament and criticised the coalition’s “intent to dismantle indigenous rights”.
At the last election, the party won six electorate seats – its best result yet.
So, Today on The Front Page, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is with us to take us through how the party’s gearing up for Election 2026 and how they’ll appeal to the masses – or, if they even want to?
