Maori Party follows due process
Hon Tariana Turia and Hon Dr Pita Sharples, Co-leaders
Tuesday 10 November 2009
Maori Party co-leaders Tariana Turia and Dr Pita Sharples say they have not yet met to discuss MP Hone Harawira's most
recent statements.
"Members of the senior leadership team of the Party plan to meet with Hone and the Tai Tokerau electorate committee on
Thursday, and the hui will discuss Hone's statements and reflect on the whole situation," said Dr Sharples and Mrs
Turia.
"A hui is where we bring together the collective wisdom of the people, listen to each other, and try to reach a common
understanding and a joint position, which is the basis for united and concerted action into the future.
"Premature statements by individuals may not help the hui to reach a consensus, so we will not be making any comment
immediately," said the co-leaders.
