Waitangi Tribunal initiates urgent inquiry into government policy harming te reo Māori.

The Waitangi Tribunal begins an urgent inquiry into claims that the government's policy is causing significant, irreversible harm to te reo Māori. Ngāi Te Rangi filed the application after the coalition government instructed non-Māori departments to prioritize Pākehā names and language. Tauranga-based iwi Ngāi Te Rangi and supporters, including Ngā Kaiwhakapūmau i te Reo, advocate for the preservation of te reo Māori.
