Kia ora John,



As we prepare to celebrate the second Matariki public holiday, I wanted to wish you and your family all the best for the year ahead.



Matariki marks the beginning of the Māori new year and has become a time of celebration for many people across Aotearoa. It’s a distinctly New Zealand moment - and makes for a distinctly New Zealand holiday where we can come together to reflect, celebrate and plan for the future.



Labour promised to make Matariki a public holiday so more people could come together and celebrate this moment. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about mātauranga Māori. I’m really proud that Labour delivered on this commitment, and I know many of us are looking forward to joining the celebrations.



Whānau have celebrated Matariki long before it became a public holiday. My hope is that now, every New Zealander and their family will be able to create their own traditions to mark this special time.



Mānawatia a Matariki,

Chris
