Speaking in Māori, former party president Dame Naida Glavish said Te Pāti Māori was not established to belittle people, but rather for the betterment of all Māori.
She said that had not been evident this year.
Dame Naida, Sir Pita Sharples, Te Ururoa Flavell, Marama Fox, Hone Harawira, and Tukoroirangi Morgan were among those represented on a list of former party leaders who had penned a letter to the current leadership.
So those concerned about the Tamihere leadership (it is clear he is the de facto leader) are every living former co-leader, and at least two former Presidents.
This would be the equivalent of Helen Clark, Geoffrey Palmer, Jacinda Ardern, Mike Williams and Andrew Little all writing a letter to the Labour Party leadership saying they think they are stuffing the party up.
