Economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic is front and centre of plans for the main candidates in the Waiariki electorate.
In this Local Focus 2020 Election video, candidates were asked for their biggest issue and all three mentioned Covid recovery including jobs and the tourism sector.
Māori Party candidate Rawiri Waititi says it's essential Māori are part of the recovery.
"We've got a policy out there that asks for 25 per cent of the Covid response recovery fund which is worth $20 billion. That's 25 per cent goes to Māori for Māori recovery over the next two years. That's 25 per cent of all contracts goes to Māori business and Māori contractors."
