Labour's Willie Jackson will attend Kemp's tangi in Taihape over the weekend. 

 Te Pāti Māori's Takutai Moana Natasha Kemp died today aged 50, following a battle with kidney disease.

He says Labour isn't thinking about the by-election triggered in Tāmaki Makaurau.

"We'll turn our mind to it next week - and we don't mind having a chat about it as we get into it. But it's not something we should probably be talking about at the moment."
