Analysis: Political leaders' week with Waitangi and Australia

From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 8 February 2023

It's been a big week already for New Zealand's political leaders.

They were all in attendance at Waitangi at the weekend giving messages of unity and aspiration for Māori.

In the aftermath, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins made a whirlwind trip to Australia yesterday for his first meeting with Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese.

We heard from Hipkins, and the National Party leader Christopher Luxon in the last hour.

RNZ's political editor Jane Patterson had some analysis.
