Coming up on Te Karere... 17 years - that's the sentence handed down to Quinton Winders for the murder of George Taiaroa. 09 December 2016 Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. The man who murdered road worker George Taiaroa at a stop-go point near Atiamuri in 2013 has been sentenced to life in prison. Quinton Winders will serve at least 17 years. Members of Taiaroa's whanau were in court and gave victim impact statements. A hideous crime that took away a father from his family. Mr Taiaroa was shot dead at point blank range while manning a stop-go point at roadworks near Tokoroa in March 2013. Quinton Winders was found guilty of murder in September this year. The Taiaroa family are now coming together so they can all walk the long path to healing as one. Irena Smith, Te Karere. John Key made his last public engagement as prime minister today while opening the refurbished visitor centre in Christchurch. And while Bill English is waiting in the wings to become the new prime minister on Monday, the race is on with two of the party's Maori Mps who are seeking the deputy role. Here's our political reporter Eruera Rerekura. This is his last opening ceremony as prime minister. For John Key his wish is fulfilled. Bill English is set to take over the role of PM. English also appealed to the Minister of Education. During the announcement of the budget this year Mr English worked closely with the Maori Party to bring about benefits for Maori. He is also supporting Paula Bennett to become the deputy prime minister. She also says that she's proud of her Maori genealogy. So on Monday without a doubt a Maori will become the deputy prime minister. Eruera Rerekura, Te Karere. Auckland iwi are vying for a major role in New Zealand's largest redevelopment housing project.

After the break, So much so it is inspiring the next generation of boxers hoping to follow in the footsteps of Joseph Parker. Tamati Rimene-Sproat caught up with a young Maori boxer looking to pave his own way to the top. A boy who was dedicated to Tu. Shaye Brock started boxing on the East Coast, still as a youth. I started boxing back in Wharekahika at around 14. I'm not sure why I chose up boxing. Maybe boxing just chose me. It has become a sport that he loves, a sport that teaches him about self-discipline. The bit that I really enjoy, is the fact I am the only one in the ring, And he has nine wins under his belt, without any losses. He's following in the footsteps of Joseph Parker on the path to the top of the boxing world. He's an example for all boxers in New Zealand, he reaches the heights, so why wouldn't you want to follow him? But he's staying humble in the knowledge that there is still a long hard road ahead of him. Next year the challenge is to fight the best fighters in New Zealand, that way I can gauge where I am or where I stand in New Zealand. Next year we will hopefully see this Ngati Porou boy climb the ladder to success. Tamati Rimene-Sproat, Te Karere.
