7:09 pm on 24 September 2013

Labour Maori Affairs spokesperson Shane Jones says his biggest challenge is to collapse the Maori Party and gain back its voters.

Mr Jones is responsible for Economic Development and Maori Affairs and is number five on the list under new leader David Cunliffe.

He says his main job will be to disestablish the Maori Party and bring the Maori vote back Labour, so it can win the next election.
