Debate intensifies over NZ First’s push to abolish Māori electorates. What would it mean for representation, the Māori Roll and Election 2026?
Winston Peters proposes a referendum to abolish the Māori electorates, reopening Treaty tensions and testing Luxon’s coalition stability.

Winston Peters calls for a referendum on Māori electorates, reigniting debate over race politics and representation in New Zealand.
