There are fears the sharing and promoting of Covid-19 misinformation by political party leaders will have disastrous consequences for Māori.
Billy Te Kahika, leader of the NZ Public Party and Advance NZ co-leader, has a growing following - particularly among Maori voters - gaining traction through the sharing of conspiracy theory and anti-lockdown videos online.
Causing even more controversy at the weekend when he and Jami-Lee Ross organised a large rally in Auckland; with a few thousand people packing into Aotea Square with no social distancing and few wearing masks.
Political reporter Katie Scotcher has been speaking to the Outliers.
She travelled North to meet Billy TK and his supporters, and filed this report.
