Kia Ora Ministerial and OIA Enquiries,

Within the ‘Maihi Kararuna Strategy: Kia Māhorahoera te Reo: Everywhere, Every Way, Everyone, Every Day.’ it identifies:

“68. ...based on existing data (where possible) … Where indicators are not currently available, they will be developed in the future. “

I believe this data is something that should be collected as it’s in line with Maihi Kararuna’s ‘Hononga / Engagement’ outcome, specifically the approach ‘Whakaatu – create the conditions for te reo Māori to be seen, read, heard and spoken by Aotearoa whānui’.

By measuring applications in te reo Māori you would be able to help benchmark and track the revitalisation of the language - or at least citizens' willingness to engage the crown with it. Where the uptake on written applications may be a more audacious goal, this measurement could also lead to / encourage, oral submissions being more of an accessible funding mechanism.

It would challenge the ministry to work out how to be more approachable, potentially encouraging individuals/organisations to apply in such a way. This would build capability within the ministry, to read, respond and have deeper conversations in te reo Māori, as per:

57. In order for the Crown to recognise the value of the Māori language, and to deliver quality services to Māori communities, it needs to ensure the public sector can ‘speak’ the language itself. By doing so, it will have both a direct and indirect impact on language revitalisation.

105. One of the important steps that government agencies can take to normalise the use of te reo Māori is to provide more opportunities for people to access government services using te reo Māori. As the number of proficient speakers of te reo Māori increases we expect a rising demand for access to services in te reo Māori. The public service needs to prepare for this.

Collecting this data will create conditions for te reo Māori to be valued, celebrated and reported on.

Within the ministries website, currently, it has a translation button between English/Te Reo Māori, while this is a great step forward, potentially something that could encourage approachability, whilst adopting the ZePA model is to have a bilingual menu. Within the strategy it identifies that: “45% of adult New Zealanders agree or strongly agree that “Signage should be in both Māori and English”.

These actions would ensure that the:
