Stacey Morrison explains why we're celebrating Matariki

Matariki, Aotearoa’s new public holiday, commemorates the beginning of the new year in the Māori lunar calendar.   But this day is about more than celestial changes in the night sky. It carries great cultural significance and a message that should resonate across New Zealand.   Today, Flava Breakfast co-host and host of the Up to Speed podcast, Stacey Morrison, joins Damien for a discussion about this important day and why we should think carefully about how we choose to celebrate this important day.
