Te Waonui for 15 October 2021

We begin this week with the pandemic, the case numbers in Tāmaki Makaurau continue to grow rapidly, and Māori vaccination rates continue to lag. Kura and kohanga confront vaccine mandates; Te Tairāwhiti arts festival goes ahead, with an extra hauora approach; on the 25th anniversary of the first MMP election, what has it achieved for Māori; and, plans for the commemoration of the Māori language petition next year.
