Points of Order — Māori Language Week 2015—Recognition

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. Kia ora tātou. Rafael, tēnā koe. In the sense that points of order are to point out issues of disorder that could arise, next week is the celebration of Māori Language Week and I would ask that members of the House think about that as we celebrate Māori Language Week—for fear of disorder. If there is a mispronunciation, the appropriate Minister will, obviously, have to stand to his feet to assist members in their pronunciation, and I am hoping Māori members and those who are aware of how to pronounce Māori words will take up that opportunity. If I can, if members get stuck, they might like to look at a Facebook page of a young man by the name of Finnian Galbraith from Kāpiti College, who has done a great job in respect of promoting Māori language. I look forward to all of us getting in the spirit of the week. Kia ora tātou, kia kaha ki te kōrero Māori.

Thank you. I am sure all members will do their best, myself in particular.
