In this explosive episode, Duncan Garner breaks down the late-night social media outbursts from Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris, calling out his openly racist rhetoric, defiance of party leadership, and the growing silence from key political figures, including Labour’s Chris Hipkins.

Is Ferris destroying the credibility of Te Pāti Māori? Should he be expelled from Parliament? And why is the mainstream political response so muted?
