​Oriini Kaipara made history when she read TVNZ 1's midday news bulletin today. Kaipara has a moko kauae, a traditional lower chin tattoo worn by Māori women, and is the first to appear on a mainstream news bulletin to bear one. Supplied Oriini Kaipara may be the first woman with a moko kauae to present a mainstream news bulletin. Kaipara is also a presenter on the te reo bulletin Te Karere and has previously worked for Māori Television and Mai FM. She received her moko kauae at some point following that discovery.
