## Resource

The Green Party is launching a bold $200 million investment in te reo Māori on the first day of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, pledging $30 million annually for teacher training and $20 million for key language bodies. Co-leader Marama Davidson accuses the current government of neglecting and even attacking the language, calling for urgent action to honor the theme ‘Ake, Ake, Ake: A Forever Language’. She counters claims that funding cuts to Te Ahu o te Reo hurt learning, arguing multilingualism strengthens academic outcomes — and that restoring support is an investment in the future.
