As far as timing goes, the policy hasn\u2019t gained a lot of media attention. The news has been dominated by the Serious Fraud Office\u2019s charging of two individuals in connection with the New Zealand First Foundation, a new poll and the second leaders\u2019 debate. Many also think the M\u0101ori party is inconsequential in 2020, sitting only on 1\u20131.5% party vote support in public opinion polls, and not looking like they are going to win back any electorate seats.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/oct\/02\/the-maori-partys-vision-of-self-determination-is-not-to-be-ignored\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mana Motuhake policy is a 25-year plan to improve the outcomes of wh\u0101nau M\u0101ori that the mainstream major parties have failed to deliver onIn an election campaign that has so far been largely a bidding contest over who can fund the most \u201cshovel-read&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1547,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sns_share_botton_hide":"","vkExUnit_sns_title":"","_vk_print_noindex":"","sitemap_hide":"","_veu_custom_css":"","veu_display_promotion_alert":"","vkexunit_cta_each_option":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41,897,56,1594,933,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia-pacific","category-maori","category-new-zealand","category-new-zealand-election-2020","category-new-zealand-politics","category-world-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"veu_head_title_object":{"title":"","add_site_title":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1547"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23377"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23378,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23377\/revisions\/23378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eastasianews.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
