National Party's M?ori seats plan seems like 'hollow politiking'- Ngarewa-Packer - a podcast by RNZ

The M?ori party says the National Party's change of heart on the M?ori seats is disingenuous and desperate. 
National has announced it will "work towards" standing candidates in the M?ori electorates in 2023.
It hasn't stood in the seats since 2002 - and even held the stance of abolishing them altogether under the leadership of Don Brash.
Leader Judith Collins says National has been absent  for too long and should be looking to represent all New Zealanders.
But M?ori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer told political reporter Yvette McCullough this seems like hollow politiking.
