Description

Te Pāti Māori's co-leaders have returned to Parliament and finally fronted for media, as the party works out what to do about rogue MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris. Rawiri Waititi is backing party president - and his father-in-law - John Tamihere's claims the two MPs sought to challenge for the party leadership, and that the party is considering their expulsion. Meanwhile iwi leaders have also come to Parliament to help the party work through the impasse - and the co-leaders say they're elated. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen.
