"non-native"

Question: It describes the leadership as mostly "non-native". What does "non-native" mean in this context?

Replaced "non-New-Zealand-born" with "British colonial immigrants". Also added Maori before Ratana

Technically there are no native New Zealanders, the oldest immigrants (Maori) all acknowledge that they migrated to New Zealand in their oral histories. They are the "First Peoples" in New Zealand. Hope this clarifies the issue. kiwiinapanic 10:50 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)

The term indigenous people is a better term to describe the Maori people. -- Greaser 01:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Caucus listing

Would this be better split out into a separate article? It's certainly good information to have, but it overbalances the rest of the article, and every three years or less it will change significantly. I'd suggest splitting it into Labour Party caucus in the 48th New Zealand Parliament or similar, with links from this article and from 48th New Zealand Parliament. With such a title it becomes a permanent record. Similar caucus listings for the other major parties should be treated in the same way.-gadfium 22:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a copy of the caucus sections of each NZ party at New Zealand Parliamentary Caucuses and MPs' responsibilities. I'll move this discussion to its talk page.-gadfium 03:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
