1 Nau mai | Welcome
Chair Handley opened the meeting
with a karakia.
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te
atākura
He tio, he huka, he
hauhū
Tihei mauri ora!
Get ready for the westerly
and be prepared for the
southerly.
It will be icy cold inland,
and icy cold on the shore.
May the dawn rise red-tipped on
ice,
on snow, on frost.
