Saturday 15 November | The leadership challenge for the Labour Party has just about done its course. There are some political commentators who are now saying that Tainui MP Nanaia Mahuta is now a serious contender for the leadership role. Maori voters returned to the Labour Party in their droves, despite Labour losing even more ground on National in the recent election. We speak to our political guru Henare Kingi who runs his analytical eye over this concerted push from Nanaia and Labours Maori caucus.

Sunday 16 November | The Department of Corrections are proposing to ban prisoners from having Maori taonga in their possession whilst in prison. This has sparked outrage and accusations of racism, and the Corrections having no appreciation of the role taonga play in Maoridom. We talk with former cop, former Human Rights and Families Commissioner Bob Newson about this.

Korero Mai Ki Ahau a half hour features programme every Saturday and Sunday from noon, which takes an in – depth look at issues affecting te ao Maori. Totally in te reo Maori brought to you by Waatea News in association with Te Mangai Paho.
