Dear Apa,

Our Wharewananga Committee has met and here are our recommendations:
1)That we congratulate Mr W.E. Rowling on his election as the new Prime Minister of our country, and Mr R.J. Tizard as Deputy Prime Minister.
2)That we ask the Government through the Prime Minister that Mrs Kirk's widow's pension be increased.
3)That the Maori Affairs Amendment Bill 1974 be introduced to Parliament immediately.
4)That the singing of the Maori Anthem 'Piko Nei te matenga' as the climax to the Cathedral Service for the late Prime Minister, Mr Norman Kirk, be recorded and that the recording be sold at the discretion of Ngati-Poneke, Rangatahi, Mawai Hakona, Wainuiomata or others involved and the proceeds in the form of royalties be donated to the widow of Mr Kirk or as the council thinks fit.
5)That any Maori Committee matter can be sent direct to the Minister of Maori Affairs or to any member of Parliament concerned if that committee so wishes without consultation with the Distrcit Maori Council or the NZ Maori Council.
6)That the portfolio of publicity be kept by the Prime Minister or handed over to Hon. Mr Watt who has only one portfolio and hardly anything to do.
7)That the nurses' salaries be increased by 10% in consultation with the Hospital Board and the Minister of Health.

Kia ora

He Kupu Tapiri: Moe iho au i te po o te Ratoru o te marama te tekau o nga ra, o tuaiwa o te tau Kotahi Mano e Iwa Rau e whitu tekau ma wha, ka kite au i te ngeru (poti) raua ko tetahi ngarara penei i te katipo nei te ahua, engari he rahi ake e whawhai ana. Ko te ngarara kei raro e tamia atu ana e nga waewae me te tinana o te ngeru. E rua nga pihiroroa o te ngarara nei. Katahi ka ngaua atu e te ngeru nei tetahi o nga pihi whati rawa; ka huri ake ia ki te ngau i te pihi tuarua, whati rawa. Ka hemo te ngarara nci, hemo rawa. Katahi te ngeru nei ka huri whakamuri, ara e tu ana tetahi kararehe penei i te pea nci. Katahi ka rere atu ka kai haere i te ihu o te kararehe. Kaore he aha a te karareke nei, kaore he aha. Kei te kai haere tonu te ngeru nei t te ihu o te karardehe nei ka oho au.

Taku Whakamarama: Katahi tonu ka mutu atu taku panui i te pukapuka ahua paku mo te Pirimia mo Nomane Kake katahi tonu nei ka mate atu, ka moe nei au i taku moemoea. Na konei pea au i maemoca penei ai. Heoi, anci taku nei whakamarama. Ko te ngeru nei ko te Kawanatanga Repa. Ko te ngarara ra ko te 'inflation' e korcrotia ake nei e nga matauranga ara, ko te piki poka noa o te maha o nga moni i to te nui o nga kai. Ka patua tera e te Kawangatanga ka mate. Te hurrnga ake ara ko te pea o te mate kai. Na reira ki a au nei kia kahe tatau te iwi ki te ono kai — parareka (taewa), kumara, kapeti, riki, kareti, taro, kaanga, me etahi atu kai o te oncone. E rua nga pihi o te ngarara ra. Ko te ahua nei e rua nga tau o taua mate kai ka mutu, ka pai ano. Na reira kia kaha ki te whakatipu kai tatau katoa mo te rua tau. Ahakoa he paku whenua e watea au onongia he kai. Mehemea he nui te kai kei tetahi awhinatia nga mea kaore he whenua; ka tuku ranci i nga kai pukahu ki Bangladesh. Kia kaha te whakatete ia koutou kau, mo te watukau, mo te pata, mo te waiukau paura; te tiaki i a koutou hipi, kau, poaka, nanenane, pikaokao, me etahi, atu huarahi kai e tika ana.

Kia ora koutou

Ma Te Atua tatau katoa e manaaki
