Toitū Te Tiriti cuts ties with Te Pāti Māori
The Toitū Te Tiriti protest movement has cut ties with Te Pāti Māori - with its spokesperson accusing the political party of being ego-driven and having a dictatorship model. Te Pāti Māori has pushed back - saying all decisions have been made through proper processes - and no formal complaints have ever been lodged. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.
