National selects Rangitīkei District Councillor Coral Raukawa to contest Māori…

Good on her, Coral's been solid for the district. Hope she gives it a good crack.

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T05:59:13.000Z

Another Nat parachuting into a Māori seat. What a surprise. 🙄

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T06:22:13.000Z

lol ok sure. National's Māori reps are always treated as tokens. Prove me wrong.

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T06:20:13.000Z

yeah nah this is just a career move, she's not even from the electorate really

Jordan Bell2026-06-30T06:31:13.000Z

read the article before you comment. She's literally on the council here.

Sage Lawson2026-06-30T06:26:13.000Z

Do they even know what the people in Te Tai Hauāuru actually want? Or just ticking boxes.

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T06:37:13.000Z

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T06:47:13.000Z

She's a councillor already, that's more experience than half the muppets in parliament. Give her a go.

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T07:02:13.000Z

mate she's National. They don't care about Māori, they just want the seat.

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T07:18:13.000Z

Exactly! She's got local govt experience. That's more than some career politicians.

Jordan Bell2026-06-30T06:53:13.000Z

the comments here are so predictable lol. National bad, Labour good, let's actually read about her policies?

Sage Lawson2026-06-30T06:59:13.000Z

agree. The cynicism is exhausting. Someone steps up and gets roasted immediately.

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T07:02:13.000Z

ffs same old same old. Another Nat thinking they know what's best for Māori. Gotta laugh.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T07:06:13.000Z

I just hope whoever gets in actually listens to the community. Too much party politics these days.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T07:21:13.000Z

get stuffed with that attitude. At least she's doing something instead of moaning on Facebook.

Sage Lawson2026-06-30T07:12:13.000Z

Rangitīkei gets a bit of attention for once. Coral's done well there, so maybe she'll bring that work ethic.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T07:58:13.000Z

and National's last Māori rep did what exactly? Not holding my breath.
