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

"Dear Gaurav,

I humbly express my earnest appreciation and gratitude for the professional assistance and generous efforts that you have extended to me and to my family. The police and medical waiver which you have prepared have successfully led to the approval of our residency visa. This is tantamount to saying that what you did to us was noteworthy and commendable.

We are truly overjoyed for having granted our visa. Indeed our life will never be the same. From now on, our family could stay in this country and we will never be apart from our growing children.

My heartfelt thanks

Romulo & family"

Local Government NZ says the funding should be matched with a “strategic waste plan”, with the goal for New Zealand to be able to process its own waste onshore.

In the last decade, the amount of waste at council landfills has increased by 48 per cent.

Matariki has become a widely accepted festival across the country. Stuff says it's time for a Matariki statutory holiday to mark the occasion.

The law says public holidays exist to observe days of “national, religious, or cultural significance”, but most of our holidays aren’t expressly Kiwi.

We’re overdue the creation of a unifying holiday that honours Aotearoa’s past and celebrates New Zealand’s future. Matariki is that holiday.
