Among their agenda items are Palestine, NCEA changes, AI marking and the curriculum.

Finally, a petition with 20,000 signatures was delivered to Parliament relating to an amendment which will see tightened eligibility for Maaori groups to receive customary title under the Marine and Coastal Area act.

Producer Faith spoke to Mika about the party’s conflicts, and how he believes they need to refocus.
