- Description
Shows a scene at the beginning of a rugby match between the All Blacks and a visiting team. The visitors, bemused, stand at the edge of the image while the All Blacks perform an enthusiastic haka. Alongside the field at a long table sit four members of the 'Maori Language Board' with pens and paper, writing reports about the Maori language being used in the haka. Above is a stadium full of fans. Refers to the establishment of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori (The Maori Language Commission) that was set up under the Maori Language Act 1987 to promote the use of Maori as a living language and as an ordinary means of communication. The cartoon suggests a comical element to the Commission.
