The bill and its rules about establishing a new public holiday are easy to understand. The bill seeks to establish a new public holiday to celebrate Matariki. It states when it will be and it also seeks to update rules about work and business days that run through many other laws. However, the most important thing is that the bill dives deeply into Māori knowledge. For that, we have been fortunate to have the guidance of the Matariki Advisory Group, a group of well-known specialists in the fields related to Matariki and the Māori lunar calendar.
