Tēnā koe Friend -



Morena,



Kāti ake, ngā Tēnā katoa tātau me ngā tini kaupapa kei a tātau katoa i te wā iti nei.  Ko koutou ko ngā ringaringa waewae o tō tātau Pāti e hāpai ake ana i te kakau kia tū tangata ai tātau me te kaupapa koia ko te mana motuhake.



E tangi ana hoki ki ngā mate huhua o te wā me te pouri o te ngākau kua ngaro te tākuta rongonui mō te mate hakihaki a Dr Joe Williams o Aitutaki.  E moe koutou i te āiotanganui.



A, ko tātau tēnei ko ngā mahuetanga iho, te maioha atu nei.  Kia ora katoa tātau.



As we gear up for our last 38 days of the campaign, we have shifted gear to reach out to the voter to support our candidates and party return to Parliament following the election on 17 October.  As you will already know, our team of seven has increased to a party list of 21 amazing people from a range of backgrounds, skills and ages as it focuses on succession as well as the legacy of the party.



In this pānui, we also share a bit more about Heather Te Au-Skipworth who also launched her Māori Sports policy <[link removed]> last week.



Cranking up our campaigns



You’ll see our billboards around the country and our teams have worked hard to put them up, fix them and also help fix other parties billboards too, because that’s how we roll.  Now that we have changed gears, you would have seen Debbie and Rawiri in a number of debates, John continues to work hard in Tāmaki Makaurau and lead the country with navigating COVID-19 wave two.  Mariameno has been in Kaitaia and Whangarei connecting with our people, Donna has been linking in with the whānau in Hauraki, Heather was supporting the winning rugby team in Te Araroa (just don’t mention that to Rawiri) and Tākuta continues to work in Wellington and is gearing up for another Tiki Tour down south.



In addition, our Party list <[link removed]> has been popular with a heap of whānau and Eru Kapa-Kingi and Hana Tapiata have been hosting some of the Māori Conversations recently.  Jack McDonald from Te Tai Hauauru gave some pearls during the Cannabis referendum conversation highlights <[link removed]> and Dr Huhana Hickey delivered a number of ‘mic-drop’ statements on the End of Life Choice referendum conversation <[link removed]>.



Heather Te Au-Skipworth mō Ikaroa-Rāwhiti <[link removed]>







Heather <[link removed]> was raised in the Hawkes Bay and though she has a number of whakapapa connections through both islands, home is Pakipaki.  Heather is the co-founder of Iron Māori which has helped transform so many lives through the country and she was recognised for her efforts in Iron Māori with a Queens Service Medal in 2014.



Iron Māori was set up in 2009 to tackle Māori health issues and has grown to become the most popular half and quarter triathlon in New Zealand.  When you attend Iron Māori you get to appreciate the impact it has at all levels and encouraging our people to be active is phenomenal.  This belief in our people trickles over to her work in the Heath sector as Heather advocates for our people in her role on the Hawkes Bay District Health Board too.



You can learn more about what drives Heather by listening to her interview with RNZ <[link removed]> in 2017 as well as her recent interview on the NZ Herald on Local Focus <[link removed]>.

Mihi nui ki a tātau katoa me ngā kaupapa e pīkauria ana e tātau katoa.  Hei tērā atu pānui oti te aro ki te Tokowhitu, ki a Tākuta Ferris o Te Tai Tonga.



Ngā manaakitanga o te wā.



Nāku iti, nā
