Kiwis are divided over whether reality television show Police Ten 7 should be cancelled following concerns the show features racist stereotypes.

Auckland councillor Efeso Collins on Sunday called on broadcaster TVNZ to scrap the show, which has run for 28 seasons, due to its portrayal of "young brown people".

"I think it's high time that a chewing gum show like Police Ten 7 was spat out of the New Zealand TV vernacular, because there's absolutely no need for it any more," he said.

The Government would rather have people in temporary accommodation than sleeping in their cars, the Prime Minister says, as the Waitangi Tribunal is set to hear claims Māori have been let down by the Crown's inability to provide housing. 

On Monday, Government policy and its effect on Māori homelessness is being put under the spotlight at a Kaupapa Inquiry - with more than 30 claimants set to share evidence on how agencies have failed.
