From Morning Report, 8:17 am on 20 April 2018

The Maori economy is now estimated to be worth $50 billion as Treaty settlement money invested over the past 30 years has started to build in size. But the Waipareira Trust's John Tamihere, says most Maori are not seeing the benefits of that and are continuing to occupy the bottom rungs of society.
