PM TALKS TO POLITICS RAISED ON TE MATATINI STAGEThe political messages broadcast from the Te Matatini stage remain in the wake of the competition but did those at the beehive hear, heed and take on board the challenges put to them by performers? Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says, "I want to make more of that event and I absolutely think a legitimate platform to issue challenges to Government to encourage where they think we should be encouraged but challenge where we should be. We just need to make sure we're available to hear that." Key messages among the 46 performances included calls to promote te reo Māori, more support for children and a song about the Prime Minister. Political issues were also at the fore; with expressions of opposition to the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary, calls for the Crown to honour The Treaty, and Tauranga Moana talking to the controversial Pare Hauraki Treaty Settlement....... www.maoritelevision.com/news/politics/pm-talks-politicsraised-on-te-matatini-stage
