A visiting Kiribati broadcaster Mote Betaia checks out the new Māori immigration office in Auckland, which provoked controversy this week when it opened its immigrants' vetting office in Auckland.

Mote Betaia asked an ANZAC spokesman, the Reverend Eru Potaka-Dewes, about the test for new Pacific Island migrants' who might not speak much or any English.
The Rev Potaka-Dewes says initially migrants will be quizzed in English but the test may be administered in Māori, in future.

Race relations conciliator Chris Laidlaw told the awards for the 1991 Media Peace Awards, earlier this week, that the anti-nuclear stance has been shown to be right.

A New Zealand project which is attemping to halt the extinction of some Polynesian language and bring others successfully into the 20th century has aroused great interest in Asia.
Doctor Sabine Fenton, of the Auckland Institute of Technology, has returned from a Hong Kong conference where many Asian delegates quizzed her about the Polynesian database project.
