Hone Ropata

Hone Ropata is a fictional character on Shortland Street who first appeared in 1992. Portrayed by Temuera Morrison.
Hone appeared in the debut episode of Shortland Street. Dr Hone Ropata arrived at Shortland Street fresh from a stint in Guatemala and carried out a breech delivery on a pregnant teen, rather than the recommended hospital transfer and caesarean section. Hone's unorthodox methods led him to clash with the other members of the staff, particularly Nurse Carrie Burton (Lisa Crittenden) and Dr Meredith Fleming (Stephanie Wilkin).
