A Tauranga meeting with Hobson's Pledge spokesman Don Brash as one of the headline speakers has been organised in a bid to gather more signatures for a petition against Māori wards.
However, the meeting on
Friday could face opposition from protesters as resistance to the petition swells.
The public meeting is expected to be held at the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club and will discuss the issue of Māori wards. Brash, Hobson's Pledge spokeswoman Casey Costello and former New Conservative member Elliot Ikilei will be speaking.
