Today Willie Jackson was formally welcomed to Te Puni Kokiri, the organisation tasked with helping him in his new portfolio as Māori Development Minister.
Delivering an impassioned speech, he highlighted the need for more support for language learners who aren t fluent. We ve got to get that strategy right. I want a strategy for everyone, not just our ones who e mohio ana ki te kōrero Māori [speak fluently]. We ve got to bring them on, he said.
