From Checkpoint, 4:51 pm on 5 February 2025

ACT Party leader David Seymour faced the wrath of Ngapuhi and Toitu Te Tiriti at Waitangi today, briefly losing his microphone and getting drowned out by song when he spoke. He was among government MPs welcomed in a tense powhiri, where some of their speeches were rejected. Maori News Journalist Tuwenuaroa Natanahira was there and filed this report.
