'Increasingly New Zealanders will use te reo Māori as their primary medium of communication' - Potaka
Fluent te reo speaker and Government minister Tama Potaka would “love” to see all MPs increase their use of the Māori language to communicate more effectively in modern-day Aotearoa.
The National Party Hamilton West MP’s comments come in an interview about Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, which runs from September 14 to September 21.

Hamilton’s Dianne June always regretted not learning how to swim and she doesn’t want others missing out on the important life skill so she’s making a substantial donation to Stuff’s safe swimming campaign.
Stuff, supported by the Waikato Times, with backing from Water Safety New Zealand, launched its safe swimming campaign in October.
