Māori National MPs say the party's list and shadow cabinet are selected on ability not skin tone and they're happy with their rankings.
There's been criticism of new leader Todd Muller's rejig of the shadow cabinet - with one former national MP saying it is appalling there are only white faces on the party's front bench.
The highest ranked Māori MP in National's caucus at number 13 - Paula Bennett.
And then Todd Muller and his deputy Nikki Kaye made a major faux pas on Tuesday when they incorrectly labelled one of their senior MPs Paul Goldsmith Māori, when he is not.
So Lisa Owen gave National's actual Māori MPs a call to see what they think.
