Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN: Budget 2022 made available more than $8 million over four years to embed celebration of Matariki into Aotearoa New Zealand's national fabric over the long term and to support community celebrations for Matariki across the country. With the many events across Aotearoa to mark this first Matariki public holiday and with the high level of enthusiasm for Matariki across the land, our collective knowledge and celebration of Matariki will develop and grow each year, and I look forward to the Government taking an active role to support this kaupapa and mātauranga Māori - based event.
