Toni Boynton took to the streets in support of Māori wards in Whakatane and says losing the vote won't stop her from continuing the battle. Māori wards were rejected last week in binding referendums in Whakatane, Western Bay of Plenty, Manawatu and Palmerston North. Former mayor of New Plymouth Andrew Judd was called a 'bigot' and spat on by strangers when he tried to establish a Māori ward in 2014. He says he's not surprised the same attitudes still exist.
