Te Pāti Māori have urged all Māori to go on strike on Thursday and participate in protest action across the country.

The Toitū Te Tiriti National Day of Action protesters will be participating in 'carkois' - which entails driving slowly across the roads to disrupt traffic flow at peak times.

The party have also encouraged all Māori to leave work and attend the hīkoi near their location.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper criticised the 'provocative' language behind the strike - and hopes the party will be held to account for their rhetoric.
