Ngarewa-Packer said that Te Pāti Māori is appealing to leaders to get back on track with discussions about policy.
"Make it less about race."
How can she say that with a straight face?! Essentially every aspect of Te Pāti Māori is about race, every comment that Ngarewa-Packer and Waititi makes about anything is about race. Until fairly recently, their own website claimed that Maori were "genetically superior".
All that being true, two wrongs don't make a right, i.e. Te Pāti Māori's own racism doesn't justify racism in return, so there is no justification for a racially charged attack on any of their candidates.
