Most New Zealanders don't know what co-governance means - Christopher Luxon

From Morning Report, 7:46 am on 27 April 2022

The leader of the National Party says New Zealanders don't have a good idea of what Māori co-governance means.

It comes after Māori Development Minister Willie Jackson said democracy was no longer about the tyranny of the majority.

However, Christopher Luxon says having two separate systems would just increase bureaucracy without delivering outcomes.

He says the government needs to set out clear guidelines on what is and isn't included for constitutional issues like this.
