A festival of aroha – Let's make Matariki a public holiday in 2021

Hi neighbours,

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.

Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.

Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.

Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.

We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

Poll: Is the Government doing enough to stop recyclable materials going to landfill?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.

Hi neighbours, we hope you're all doing OK despite last night's torrential rain.
The rain has caused significant slips and flooding, with some people needing help from emergency services to evacuate their homes, with Fire and Emergency NZ responding to more than 200 weather-related overnight.
The NZTA has advised of a number of state highway closures and Civil Defence Northland has strongly recommended residents avoid unessential travel.
Whangārei residents have been asked to conserve water for drinking and emergency use only due to a burst water main, while treatment plants are struggling to cope with the "intense" rainfall.
If you've been slammed by the weather and would like to share your story and some photos, please email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz or comment blow.
