National supports review of tikanga
National Party Maori Affairs spokesman Gerry Brownlee says National would support a proposal for a review of the use of Maori tikanga in the state sector.
“The National Party has been saying for sometime now that things like powhiri are being inappropriately used and over-used. We welcome Pita Sharples’ support,” says Mr Brownlee.
