Greens call for NZ Wars plaque

From The Panel, 4:57 pm on 7 September 2018

The Green Party is calling for a plaque to commemorate the New Zealand Wars to be added to Parliament.

There are 33 other plaques in Parliament but none in honour of the armed battles here in the mid 1800s between Maori and the New Zealand Government.

We ask the panelists if they agree.
