---

> Maori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi says there is still a place for the Waitangi Tribunal despite calls from New Zealand First to disband the nearly 50-year-old tribunal.  
>  
> The Winston Peters-led party voted in favour of a policy to abolish the tribunal by 2025 at its campaign launch on Sunday.  
>  
> Northland NZ First candidate Shane Jones told [teaonews.co.nz](http://teaonews.co.nz/?ref=goodoil.news) that the tribunal has become listless and lost focus from its purpose.  
>  
> *NZ Herald*

Shane Jones is right and Rawiri Waititi is wrong.
