Description
Lawyer Tania Waikato helped mobilise hundreds of thousands of submissions against the Treaty Principles Bill and Regulatory Standards Act.
Now, she's ranked 13 on the Green Party list - the highest of any new face, and higher than some sitting MPs. She's also challenging the Māori electorate of Waiariki, currently held - by a considerable margin - by Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi.
Tania joins Simon Mercep to discuss her vision for constitutional reform in New Zealand, and how she will work with MPs from across the aisle after building her platform on calling them out.
