Members of New Zealand's 49th Parliament, elected November 2008.

Find out more about what the Maori Party stands for.

Updated 9 December 2008

In the Maori Party’s 2008 NZ general election policy, its website said “ the Maori Party is asking an important question”:
He aha te mea nui o te Ao?
What is the most important thing in the world?
The election policy statement said “many of you have told us, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata: it is people, it is people, it is people.”
But such is the rich and creative tapestry of the people who inhabit Aotearoa, that we have received many other answers.
Real wages for real work; being respected; a clean environment; my kids; seeing the Treaty honoured; thriving whanau and communities; having hope.
