Despite a recent law change, Māori voter turnout is still relatively low. Partly that’s because Māori do not believe their votes are worth as much as non-Māori votes. For most of the past 170 years they haven’t been. If you had no idea, you’re not alone. Dr Simone Bull will expose this ‘blind spot’ in our collective memory and some of the characters who have occupied the Māori seats along the way. Long live democracy!
