The preliminary election results mean that the National Party would only have one MP of Pacific Island heritage in Parliament.

Angee Nicholas is currently ahead by just 30 votes in the Te Atatu electorate, with special votes still to be counted, it is possible that the result may change.

Nicholas spoke to the Lecturer of Language and Culture at the Auckland University of Technology Richard Pamatatau about the potential lack of Pacific representation in the National Party Caucus as well as reasons why the National Party appeals to some members of the Pacific Island community.

Nicholas started by asking Professor Pamatatau about what he thinks of the current makeup of National Caucus.
