Waitangi commemorations back in full swing

From Morning Report, 6:45 am on 7 February 2023

Waitangi Day is a day for reflection, commemoration, debate, protest and celebration.

And in Waitangi itself, it was all back -- the waka, the ceremonies, carnivals and, of course, the politics.

Te Whare Runanga is lit up as hundreds gather in the dark before it on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
