As you may already know, this month is full of elections – Te Roopū Māori elections, OUSA elections and the national elections. Te Roopū Māori was established to support and encourage Māori students enrolled in the university. Our past executive and members have made many actions and movements to maintain and uphold the objectives and tikanga (values and customs) of Te Roopū Māori. It is important for you as a Tauira Māori to keep up the momentum of Te Roopū Māori by making your vote in the Te Roopū Māori elections this week. Vote!
WHY vote? Te Rito says …
We need to support the mahi (work) of our tūpuna who fought for seats in Parliament.
- To have your voice heard.
- Choose a party or person whom you connect with.
- To make sure you are not left out.
- To make sure Māori representation is present.
While you are making your decision think about who you believe best represents you, your whanau and your beliefs – also factor in all the positive and negative actions you may have seen from each party or each candidate. Make the right VOTE (decision) for you!
We encourage all Te Roopū Māori tauira to submit their votes.
