Kua tū pakari anō te Poari o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori nā runga i te kopounga o ngā mema hou e rua, mō te toru tau te roa. I tū te hui tuatahi mō ngā mema hou i te Rāhina kua pahure.
Kei te koa te Toihau o te Poari o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i te kopounga o Hinerangi Edwards (Taranaki, Ngāruahine, Ngāti Ruanui, Te Arawa) rāua ko Wayne Panapa (Waikato Maniapoto) e te Minita o Te Puni Kōkiri, a Te Ururoa Flavell.
“He pukenga ō Hinerangi mō ngā mahi rautaki me te mana arataki, ā, kei te taha whakahaere pūtea me te rautaki ō Wayne pukenga. He tino taonga ō rāua tohungatanga me ō rāua mōhiotanga ki tō mātou kawenga hou ki te whakatinana i tētahi rautaki Karauna hou kua pānuitia mō te whakaoranga ake o te reo i raro i te Ture Reo Māori 2016, te kī a Tākuta Ngata.
Anei te katoa o te poari: Wayne Ngata (Toihau), Charisma Rangipunga (Toihau Tuarua), Hinerangi Edwards, (Kaiwhiri) Charlie Tepana (Kaiwhiri) me Wayne Panapa (Kaiwhiri).
Kua kopoua a Charisma Rangipunga, mema noho o te poari, ki te tūranga toihau tuarua.
Ka kapi ngā mema hou i ngā tūranga o Hinurewa Poutū, kei tāwāhi kē ināianei, me Ahorangi Rawinia Higgins, i kopoua ai ki te poari o Te Mātāwai.
“Kua huri ki ngā mahi nui kei mua i te aroaro mō tō mātou poari, me taku whakamihi ki a Hinurewa rāua ko Rawinia mō o rāua āwhina i te taha o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori ki te whakatina i te reo Māori mō ngā rā e tū mai ana.”
Ka whai Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i te kawenga whakatinana matua i raro i te Ture, me te hihiwa ki te whakapiki i te kaha whakamahia, te kaha kitea, me te mana o te reo ki roto i te kāwanatanga ā, huri noa i te motu whānui. Kua tū he rōpū hou, a Te Mātāwai, hei māngai, hei arataki hoki i ngā iwi, ngā hapū, me ngā whakahaere Māori, ki te tautoko i te tuku o te reo Māori ki ia whakatipuranga, ki ia whakatipuranga.
I a ia e pōhiri ana i ngā mema hou o te Poari, ka kī a Tākuta Ngata, ko ngā mahi nui rawa atu mā ngā whakahaere e rua, ko te mahi ngātahi.
