From Midday Report, 12:45 pm on 25 January 2023

The Minister for Māori Development has described the late Titewhai Harawira as a warrior woman, who fought relentlessly for tangata whenua.

The prominent Northland kuia and controversial campaigner for Māori rights died in Avondale aged 90.

Minister Willie Jackson had a close relationship with her and told Charlotte Cook there was only one way - and it was her way.
