NEW WHAREKURA CONTINUES COMMITMENT TO MĀORI EDUCATION
A new Year 1-13 designated character wharekura will be established in Feilding, Associate Minister of Education Kelvin Davis announced today.

CALLS FOR MĀORI ACC ENTITY AFTER MAN LOSES BOTH ARMS IN 'HORRIFIC' WORK ACCIDENT, LEAVING HIM SEVERELY BURNT
An ACC and employment lawyer is calling for an ACC entity designed by Māori, for Māori to help address structural biases in the compensation system.
"I'm applauding what they're going to do for health and I think that that should be replicated in ACC as well," Wellington lawyer Hazel Armstrong said.
Māori and Pasifika are more likely to get injured but are less likely to make ACC claims, and therefore get fewer entitlements.
Added to this, Armstrong said ACC processes structurally disadvantage Māori and Pasifika applicants with their mainly paper-based bureaucracy......
