An online public consultation was undertaken in September 2018 to seek feedback on key elements of the Maihi Karauna, the Government’s te reo Māori strategy. The level of response and the nature of the feedback clearly showed a strong passion and interest in te reo Māori and its place in the national identity of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the Crown’s responsibility in developing a strategy for all New Zealanders. A total of 2,154 responses were made to the public consultation. This report presents the results of this consultation on the Maihi Karauna strategy.
