Te Pati Māori managed to raise a few eyebrows over their comments about the Children's Minister.

Karen Chhour's bill to remove section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act passed its first reading yesterday.

Responding to the Bill, Te Pati Māori has said since Chhour was raised by Pakeha, she has a disconnection and a disdain for her own people.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Te Pati Māori's behaviour towards Minister Chhour was 'out of hand'.
