Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.
We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.
Share your thoughts here.

The Sealion has been berthed near the northern end of Queens Wharf in the central city for almost two decades.
Soon, it will set sail for different waters, after a change in ownership saw long-time resident Ian McIntosh move off the boat, after about 16 years living there with his wife and three children.
Purchased for $5 and renamed Ground Zero, the boat is now in the hands of the boat is in the hands of American visionary Peter Myers.
Myers, currently drifting between waters at the top of the South Island and bottom of the North, has grand plans to do up the boat and shift it to Nelson, to establish a community of people who will live off and around it in a self-sustained bubble.

With little land available for development, apartments are likely to be the future for growth in the city.
For Wellington’s inner city, a six-storey minimum building height will likely be introduced with developments up to 10 storeys in Te Aro and on some central city boundaries. In the inner-city suburbs, up to 5400 extra homes will be created.
But inner-city apartment owner Carol Brown says people should think very carefully before buying an apartment in Wellington. She is warning that although new apartments will be built to code, the code can change over time.
That is what happened to her and she warned the financial implications can be huge.
Hi everyone
I am after buying a solid buffet cabinet in very good condition. If any got one.. Please let me know. Thanks

Whaitua te Whanganui a Tara Committee is tackling the tough (and smelly!) issues when it comes to water quality and they need your input!
Wastewater getting into streams harms our enjoyment of our streams and harbour. No one wants poos in streams.
The committee really wants to know what you think contributes to our wastewater problem, how we can solve it and who should pay for it.
Your responses will help the Committee develop recommendations for how wastewater should be managed in the future.
Thank you to everyone who took 5 minutes to tell the committee what you think. If you haven’t yet, there’s still a week left to join the conversation: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz...
If you didn't get tickets on time, don't worry! We've got you covered!
Just join us live on Facebook, we will be streaming from 7:15pm.

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand’s twelfth public holiday if re-elected.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The exact timing of Matariki shifts every year as it relates to a star cluster reappearing and has traditionally varied between Iwi.
It would be the first new public holiday since the Third Labour Government made Waitangi Day a public holiday in 1973, although then Prime Minister Norman Kirk called it “New Zealand Day”.

Kia ora everyone,
If you were born between 1946-1964, you may wish to complete this short survey on positive ageing. We'd appreciate your support to help understand how older persons make the most of their third age in New Zealand. Stay well. Bernie

Money raised from ticket sales and donations will help the Foundation keep up their outstanding work with talented young musicians as they start out on their musical careers. Altissime sang pieces from favourite Broadway shows, both as a choir and as small ensembles. Marsden Old Girl Lara Strong treated our audience to a wonderful rendition of "The History of Wrong Guys" from Kinky Boots. Our Cultural Coordinator Sarah Wilson shared some Broadway history and fabulous stories from various theatres to link the performances together. Choir director Maaike Christie-Beekman gave a show-stopping performance singing "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" and "Het is over". We count our blessings she is at the helm of Marsden's flagship choir, Altissime. It was a very special evening.
