Media Strategy
All Media inquiries for the Hui Taumata taking place on May 31, 2024
Media lead: Radio Kahungunu, Manager, Apikara Brightwell.

Key Objectives and Key Messages:
-
This Hui Taumata stems from the National Hui for Unity hosted by Kiingi Tūheitia at Turangawaewae Marae, Ngaruawahia earlier this year following the announcement of the new Coalition Government signed between National, Act and NZ First. The Coalition Government announced plans that included policy changes detrimental to Māori. Iwi leaders from around the motu signalled the need to protect all whānau Māori by uniting.
-
The key message at the Hui-ā-Motu was Kotahitanga - Unite and move forward together.
-
The Hui Taumata will bring 'Māori Thought Leaders' from around the nation together to further communicate the kaupapa of Kotahitanga. The kaupapa is Kotahitanga. The Hui Taumata platform will allow for 'Thought Leaders' to share thoughts and proposals on how we can successfully move forward with determination and unity.
-
The media plan includes how we will communicate with the nation before, during and after the Hui Taumata.
