MEDIA RELEASE: TE TIRITI AND A NEW ZEALAND REPUBLIC GO HAND IN HAND
“This week and for the rest of the year there will be a great deal of discussion about the treaty and its importance in our national culture and our constitution,” said Lewis Holden, Campaign Chair of New Zealand Republic, Kia Mana Motuhake a Aotearoa.
“If anyone in New Zealand thinks achieving a Kiwi Head of State and becoming a republic somehow sidesteps or decreases the importance or relevance of the Treaty, they are very much mistaken. The Treaty and a republic go hand in hand. The Treaty is here to stay and we should be proud of our work to make its promise a reality.”
In 1840 the British Queen was a figurehead symbolising the power of the British Parliament and its Empire. The treaty obligations have long since passed to the New Zealand Crown. It has been New Zealanders together, Maori and non-Maori together, who have embarked on this partnership to right the wrongs and address the mistakes of the past.
That work must carry on and removing the King and replacing the Governor-General with a democratic Kiwi Head of State would help bring the Te Tiriti home and make it clear that we are all in this together.
Becoming a republic is a logical and necessary step in Aotearoa's development. To have a New Zealander as Head of State would make us finally and fully an independent sovereign state.

January’s weather in Kāpiti was warmer, sunnier and drier than average, and we began our second year free of any extreme/severe weather.
Our average daily maximum temperature of 24.2 degrees was over a degree warmer than a 13-year average, but only a couple of points higher than January 2023.… View moreJanuary’s weather in Kāpiti was warmer, sunnier and drier than average, and we began our second year free of any extreme/severe weather.
Our average daily maximum temperature of 24.2 degrees was over a degree warmer than a 13-year average, but only a couple of points higher than January 2023.
Every day exceeded 20 degrees, with 11 days over 25 degrees. The warmest was Monday 22 with 29.5 degrees in Paraparaumu. For coastal Kāpiti with its sea breezes, reaching 29 degrees is a rare event and over the last 10 years has only occurred three times. As usual, Masterton and Blenheim, at 25.7 degrees had the highest average maximums, with Kāpiti the second-highest in central New Zealand. However, our overall mean temperature of 19.8 degrees was the highest in central New Zealand reflecting our warmer nights.
Breaking the spell of recent cloudy months, January received the equivalent of 20 sunny days, nearly two more than average.
Rainfall of 52mm recorded at the airport was around 80% of average, again reflecting the low precipitation of recent months.
February is traditionally our warmest and sunniest month, but last year this occurred in January, so It will be interesting to see how this February pans out. However, as autumn approaches the days are becoming noticeably shorter.
