Reserve Bank Apology - Robyn Rauna
The Reserve Bank has apologised for wrongly attributing the origins of the tukutuku panel, that's represented on the new ten dollar bank note. It comes after a Maori Trust called in the lawyers, saying the design was attributed as coming from the Te Hau ki Turanga wharenui, without permission. The wharenui is the oldest in the country and is housed in Te Papa Tongarewa. Robyn Rauna is the Te Hau ki Turanga trust project manager.
