Sue and Ben look back on a momentous week for Te Ao Māori with the tangi of Kiīngi Tūheitia and his daughter crowned the eighth Māori monarch.
Sue and Ben discuss the significance, amid the belief Kuini Nga wai hono i te po will be the voice for rangatahi.
Also, they'll discuss most councils voting to keep Māori wards, and health and social service providers remaining on the receiving end of cutbacks.
Sue Moroney is a former MP with the Labour Party and now chief executive of Community Law Centres Aotearoa
Ben Thomas is a former National government press secretary, a columnist and a director of public affairs firm Capital.
