The navy ship that hit a reef, the HMNZS Manawanui, caught on fire, and sank near Upolu, Samoa, over the past week, causing 200,000 litres to spill from the vessel.

They also spoke to her about the 149 projects that have been fast tracked as a part of the Fast Track Approvals Bill, and what Te Pāti Māori’s stances are regarding these projects, and the bill as a whole.
