Marama Fox on the Mana-Māori party agreement and child protection legislation.

The Māori Party and Mana Party signed an agreement yesterday which will see the Mana Party stand aside in all Māori electorates except Te Tai Tokerau, where Hone Harawira will stand uncontested by the Māori Party. Talks began last year between the two parties, showing a change in mood since 2011 when Harawira was suspended from the Māori Party. Mack spoke with Marama about these events.
