Why Green candidate Tania Waikato believes she can beat Rawiri Waititi

Lawyer Tania Waikato helped mobilise hundreds of thousands of submissions against the Treaty Principles Bill and Regulatory Standards Act. Now, she's ranked 13 on the Green Party list - the highest of any new face, and higher than some sitting MPs. She's also challenging the Māori electorate of Waiariki, currently held - by a considerable margin - by Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi. Tania joins Simon Mercep to discuss her vision for constitutional reform in New Zealand, and how she will work with MPs from across the aisle after building her platform on calling them out. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
