From Morning Report, 6:39 am on 19 September 2019

Opposition leader Simon Bridges says the Government can't buy back land at Ihumatao, because it would create a regrettable precedent. The Maori king, Kiingi Tuheitia, says mana whenua have made a decision about the land, and they want it back. National leader Simon Bridges told our political editor Jane Patterson this runs the risk of reopening Treaty settlements around the country.
