Keeping up with Hone
If Waitangi is a chance to take the pulse of New Zealand race relations, what do this weekend's celebrations say about us?
The Prime Minister's speech was drowned out, the leaders of the Maori Party abused, protestors with placards front and centre.
Par for the course you might say, but the row over asset sales has given it new life and feeding that fire is Mana Party leader Hone Harawira.
Close Up's Mark Crysell tries to keep pace with Harawira at his stomping ground in Northland.
Asset sales protest
Prime Minister John Key discusses the protest over asset sales that he encountered in Waitangi.
Entrenched inequalities
Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres is calling for a greater generosity of spirit today, saying that the inequalities between different people, different races are entrenched and should be top of the country's agenda.

Lynda Williams of the Maternity Services Consumer Council discusses this with Close Up.
