Police have designed a new police car featuring a koru for Māori Language Week - but not everyone's impressed. The car will be out and about in Counties Manukau this week, to show NZ Police's support for Te Wiki o te reo Māori. "51% of NZ's prison population is Māori," wrote Henare on Twitter. Jasmine Horton Even said she was glad to see the Māori language used more and more. "We wanted to do something visible to show our support of te reo Māori and highlight our commitment to recruiting more Māori in Tamaki Makaurau, and across Aotearoa," Cmmr Bush said.
