	Tuku Morgan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was an MP from 1996 to 1999, first as a member of the New Zealand First party, then as an independent, and finally as a member of Mauri Pacific.
		Many people dismissed the five Mauri Pacific MPs as opportunists, and said that the presence of people such as Morgan in the party did not speak highly of its moral integrity.
		In the 1999 elections, Morgan was ranked second on Mauri Pacific's party list, and contested the Te Tai Hauauru seat again, but was not returned to Parliament.

		The preservation of the mauri was associated with the presence of one's atua (or god) which means that the object, in this case the mountain, was set aside for restricted use by that particular god.
		The Maori sense of belonging to a particular place is achieved through the practice of burying the pito and the whenua (placenta) of a baby in a sacred area which is aligned in a triangular configuration to the familial, sub-tribal, and tribal mountains of that child.
		However, the mauri will always be handed back to the host people at the conclusion of the speeches, and this is symbolised by their speaking last.

		One of the issues most amenable to cynical interpretation is that of "deals" whereby a party stands down its candidate in favour of the candidate of that party's prospective coalition partner.
		I think that we have a duty to Henare to recognise that the fracture of a party (and especially a party that accepted the responsibility of government and which faced a level of media pressure which made its survival virtually impossible) is different to MPs leaving a party.
		Mauri Pacific remains as much a part of the 1997 NZ First party as does the group of MPs who stayed with Peters.

		So it would appear from the earliest times that cultural exchange took place in the Pacific and that the tattoo was an important aspect of that exchange.
		It is interesting that the academic worlds of Pacific Studies and Art History are examining the tattoo as art and as cultural exchange.

	New Zealand elections characterised by widespread political disenchantment
		The National Party has been forced to see out the last 18 months as an unstable minority government, propped up by the pro-big business party ACT, Mauri Pacific—an ethnically-based party set up last year by a group of defectors from NZ First—and a shifting coalition of “independent” MPs.
		Four of the eight MPs who set up the Mauri Pacific Party gained their seats in parliament by winning the Maori designated electorates, traditionally held by Labour, for NZ First.
		Mauri Pacific will struggle to hold any seats in the coming election, while the Alliance and NZ First are both polling around 6 or 7 percent.
