Audrey rates Labour’s Maori caucus

Audrey Young rates the members of Labour’s Maori Caucus. The summary is:

• Adrian Rurawhe: Exceeded expectations
• Kelvin Davis: Pedestrian
• Nanaia Mahuta: Distracted
• Peeni Henare: Sheltered
• Willie Jackson: Active
• Kiri Allan: Big Future
• Meka Whaitiri: Solid
• Rino Tirikatene: Treading water
• Tamati Coffey: Adjusting
• Willow-Jean Prime: Dependable
• Jo Luxton: Disciplined
• Paul Eagle: Unsettled
• Shanan Halbert: Dedicated
• Arena Williams: Ambitious

Also worth noting that Audrey said re Mahuta:

But distracted by Three Waters reforms and a series of stories about public sector contracts awarded to her consultant husband. They have reached such a pitch that she herself should refer the matter to the Public Service Commission or Auditor-General to get an independent opinion and draw a line under it. 

That’s an excellent idea.
