The Huddle: Will National's back-tracking put voters off?

This evening on The Huddle, journalist Clare de Lore and current affairs commentator Josie Pagani joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more!

Education Minister Jan Tinetti has been referred to Parliament's powerful privileges committee, over failing to correct a statement around attendance stats. The last time a Minister was referred to the group of senior MPs was in 2008, when Winston Peters was investigated over controversial donations. Is this a big deal? Does this undermine Labour's credibility? 

The Children's Commissioner, Judge Frances Eivers, says police pursuits will unfairly target Māori and Pasifika, and that Māori and Pasifika are less likely to trust authority therefore more likely to flee. Are these fair comments?

National have done a U-turn on its opposition to bilingual road signs, after claiming last week they would be confusing. They support the signs "in principle", but want Waka Kotahi to be spending its limited resources on fixing potholes and upgrading roads. Will this back-tracking put voters off?
