About

One of the high points of Māori current affairs show Marae is its post-election mustering of successful Māori candidates. This 2008 edition features the five Te Pāti Māori and two Labour Party MPs. It was a significant election, with John Key leading the National Party to success after nine years of Labour. With Helen Clark announcing her resignation as Labour Party leader, Turiana Turia and Parekura Horomia pay tribute. As this episode was filmed the day after the election, Te Pāti Māori's involvement with the new National government was still undetermined, garnering much discussion on what the future holds.
