'Greed, avarice, and entitlement': Te Pāti Māori president fires back at MPs after calls to resign
Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere has fired back over calls to resign – instead suggesting MPs Takuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi should throw in the towel.
He said the MPs' conduct is “not based on mana, is not based on integrity and honesty or on principle. Their conduct is based on greed, avarice and entitlement”.
Calls for Tamihere to resign came after a vote by party members to suspend Kapa-Kingi last month.
