Te Matatini has named Te Kapa Haka o Ngāti Whakaue (Te Arawa) as this year’s winners of the Ngāpō Pimia Wehi Duncan Mcintyre trophy and the championship title of Te Matatini 2025. This means the rōpū will have the opportunity to represent Aotearoa, just as the 2023 champions, Te Kapa Haka o Te Whānau a Apanui, did when they performed at the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture (FestPAC) last year.

180 years ago today, history was made with one of the first recorded instances of political activism in Aotearoa. Ngāpuhi chief Hōne Heke Pōkai chopped down the flag pole in Kororāreka (Russell), which was flying the British flag, on January 19, 1845. It was the third time the flagpole had been struck down, but only the second time by Heke. The flagpole was first chopped down by Pakaraka chief Te Haratua on July 8, 1844, and then again on January 10, 1845.

The extension for public submissions for the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill ends at 1pm today. The extension was granted after at least 150,000 people tried to make their submissions on the final day, with many instead running into error pages due to technical issues on the evening of January 7.
