Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori

on the steps of Parliament, and so many things happen from that.

The Māori Language Commission, Te Taira Whiri o Te Reo Māori, there's an offshoot now of Te Mātāwai, obviously the Kohanga movement in the early 90s, all have come out of that, and the Kohanga movement, by the way, has become an international model for how to preserve indigenous languages.

And then all of those things are the things that allowed the Kura Kaupapa movement, that have allowed me to do the job that I do.

So I feel, yeah, I think I had never read this passage before.

You're meant to be an expert.

You're going to the Maori Language Commission.

Let me tell you what.

This isn't about me and the Maori Language Commission.

So we entered into a process with Te Toa Te Whiria Te Rea Māori, the Māori Language Commission, and we asked them, what do you guys think? Does this fit for our mahi? And they came back and they said, and it was quite an extended process, And they came back in the end and they said, yes, in your context, because it's all about context, it means justice and putting things right.

And they strongly supported us using it.

So, yeah, so that was a great day.

Yeah, so we loved it from the beginning for this work, but we're not the kind of people that would just grab it and run away and slap it on our branding.

So we entered a process with Te Toa Te Whiti Te Rea Māori, the Māori Language Commission, and that process took a number of months.

And a consultation.

And in the end, they came back to us and they said that, yes, in this context, tika means justice and putting things right.
