Napier councillors fought over M?ori wards decision - a podcast by RNZ

A Napier councillor infight over the unanimous decision not to go ahead with M?ori wards in time for next year's election was kept from the public eye.
Emails released to RNZ show a councillor wanted to overturn the decision, but was told her behaviour was "extremely disappointing".
The emails also show that the Napier Mayor, Kirsten Wise, had already made up her mind about her stance before discussions with the community had even begun.
Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin spoke to Susie Ferguson.
