Good on her, Coral's been solid for the district. Hope she gives it a good crack.
Another Nat parachuting into a Māori seat. What a surprise. 🙄
lol ok sure. National's Māori reps are always treated as tokens. Prove me wrong.
yeah nah this is just a career move, she's not even from the electorate really
read the article before you comment. She's literally on the council here.
Do they even know what the people in Te Tai Hauāuru actually want? Or just ticking boxes.

I actually think it's cool a young Māori woman is stepping up. National or not, more reps the better.
She's a councillor already, that's more experience than half the muppets in parliament. Give her a go.
mate she's National. They don't care about Māori, they just want the seat.
Exactly! She's got local govt experience. That's more than some career politicians.
the comments here are so predictable lol. National bad, Labour good, let's actually read about her policies?
agree. The cynicism is exhausting. Someone steps up and gets roasted immediately.
ffs same old same old. Another Nat thinking they know what's best for Māori. Gotta laugh.
I just hope whoever gets in actually listens to the community. Too much party politics these days.
get stuffed with that attitude. At least she's doing something instead of moaning on Facebook.
Rangitīkei gets a bit of attention for once. Coral's done well there, so maybe she'll bring that work ethic.
and National's last Māori rep did what exactly? Not holding my breath.
