A comment by Prime Minister John Key that Tuhoe would have him for dinner has been labelled badly timed and insensitive by a Maori Party MP.
Speaking at a tourism event in Auckland, Mr Key made a joke about enjoying a dinner at a Ngati Porou marae on the East Coast this week.
"The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngati Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi, which is Tuhoe, in which case I would have been dinner, which wouldn't have been quite so attractive," he said.
