“At a time when “TV is tabloid and channels are ghettoising current affairs”, Māori Television will be covering and challenging New Zealand stories with Māori perspectives in a new, prime-time current affairs show ironically dubbed – NATIVE AFFAIRS.
Covering subjects such as suicide and educational achievement amongst Māori boys, the team is dishing up four field-based video segments a week and one studio-based interview or panel.." www.maoritelevision.com; 11/06/2007

The internet continues to spread it’s net of influence world wide. Māori are avid users of this technology. But what of the implications for tikanga? When the written word was introduced to Aotearoa Māori were quick to realise the potential and embraced this tool for their own means and reasons. Matakite Charlotte Mildon consults with clients online. Nau Mai Place is another connective tool for Māori and marae to use to connect with others.

Will the last Māori to leave Aotearoa please turn out the lights. The numbers of Māori living in Australia continues to grow so much so the numbers of them living there will outnumber those living here. 125,000 Māori or one in seven Māori call Australia home and communities with more than 100 Māori live have some sort of marae or community centre to cater for Māori needs. Most intent returning home at some stage with 80% refusing to take up Australian citizenship. They cite a better lifestyle, joining whānau, better income and escaping negative experiences like gangs and domestic violence as reasons for emigrating.
