Politicians are being told to focus on fixing problems that impact all New Zealanders

Maori Party MP Rawiri Waititi was kicked out of the House yesterday, after claiming National has a racist rhetoric ... which Judith Collins denies.

He was followed out by his co-leader Debbie-Ngarewa Packer and Green MP Teanau Tuiono.

National Maori Authority chair Matthew Tukaki says ideas should be contested in Parliament - but race shouldn't be pulled in.

He says if politicians can't do the job they've been elected to do - they should resign and let someone else get on with the work.
