Nanaia Mahuta incredibly seasoned and clear in her communications #TheHui #MaoriPol

Donna Pokere-Phillips is right to resist being held to account for previous Māori Party decisions. But it’s natural for the questions to be asked and preparation for them is key #TheHui #MaoriPol

This debate highlights the importance of knowing your electorate. Both are demonstrating their deep connections, but Mahuta has a stronger grasp of the arguments and details #TheHui #MaoriPol

That last question was tricky. As a Minister, Nanaia answered responsibly and spoke directly to her electorate, as a candidate Donna spoke to the Māori nation, for the party vote. Neither were wrong in their approach based on their comparative positions. ✊🏼❤️✊🏼 #TheHui #MaoriPol

Commentary brought to you tonight by the fridge leftovers 😂😬 #WhoEvenAmI 😂😂
