Seeing as only about 1-2% of the 15% of part-maori care enough to learn maori, this is just another colossal waste of tax payer funds. What about the english share of words put on the maraes? Why is some maori buildings exempt from the english words....although they are quick to "borrow" letters from the english alphabet with no payments ever made for using them.
