Labour will make Matariki New Zealand’s twelfth public holiday if re-elected.
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 exact timing of Matariki shifts every year as it relates to a star cluster reappearing and has traditionally varied between Iwi.
It would be the first new public holiday since the Third Labour Government made Waitangi Day a public holiday in 1973, although then Prime Minister Norman Kirk called it “New Zealand Day”.

Louise Brodie started the online petition after former Pawsey collided with a car at the intersection of Moonshine Hill Rd and State Highway 2 on August 27. Brodie said she had witnessed many near misses at the same junction that accesses the Upper Hutt suburb of Riverstone Terraces.
She said the intersection was dangerous because vehicles often had to enter, from a near standing start, traffic moving at 100kmh. The interchange is not controlled by lights.

Two well known business have indicated they are struggling and Eftpos transactions are down 19 percent from the same time last year.
Wellington City councillor Simon Woolf says the outlook for Wellington’s Lambton Quay is so bad he is moving his family photography business from the street after more than 60 years.
Sam Cranfield, whose wife Val established the Cranfields gift store now situated off Lambton Quay, told councillors at a meeting on Thursday the couple were liable for $750,000 if the business went bust, something he was very concerned would happen.

The Upper Hutt 22 year-old has taken an unlikely path to acting stardom after being discovered in an Upper Hutt boxing gym.
When Kiwi director Sam Kelly walked into the Heretaunga Boxing Gym, he wasn’t expecting to find New Zealand’s next big talent. But that is exactly what Kelly found when he handed out audition forms to the young men hanging around after training.
Matamua was so confident he’d get the role after auditioning, James started signing off as ’’Next Big Thing’’ in his emails to the producer, telling them not to bother auditioning anyone else. It was this confidence, humour and natural charm that endeared the casting team to him and won him the role.
Matamua scored a role in Savages, a film about the early history of gangs in New Zealand.
