Your thoughts on making Matariki a public holiday

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.

The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.

We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

Do you run your own business and find yourself spending more and more time doing the paperwork rather than the actual work you love?

Do you find yourself putting off the accounts every month until the last minute?

If you answered yes to the above, why not contract me to do your admin for you?!

I have been an administrator for the last 13 years where I have been involved in accounts (payable and receivable), payroll, scheduling, minute taking, customer service and I just love it! I have experience in both MYOB and Xero accounting packages.

Some benefits of using a contractor:
• No staff on the books
• No staff wages to pay
• No ACC/PAYE to pay
• I only work when you need me

If this sounds like you or you know someone who could benefit, why not get in touch and see how I can help you!
