Coming up on Te Karere... The buyer of Maori Battalion medals had no idea of the ruckus that would ensue. Is it safe to swim in the waterways of your region? The government report has been released on water quality, and it's not good news. And the new milk product being launched by a Maori company to sell in Asia. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. A collector trader got more than he bargained for when he bought 8 which belonged to a 28th Maori Battallion soldier. Private George Rihia's medals were put up for auction on TradeMe, much to the shock of his whanau who didn't know the medals existed. Tina Wickliffe with what came next. Two weeks ago trader John Eccles bought this group of medals which once belonged to Private George Rihia who served with the 28th Maori Battalion, he died from injuries and is buried in Egypt. The woman who sold the medals signed a form saying the medals were hers. But what was just an ordinary sale turned sour when John put the medals on TradeMe. Family members discovered the medals online. This small store has been swamped with questions, so the sale was scrapped. Because George Rihia fought in the 2nd infantry of the 28th Maori Battalion, it increases the value of his medals. This small store has been swamped with questions, They hope to return them to their marae in Turangi. Tina Wickliffe, Te Karere. The Government has released its report on the water quality of rivers and lakes in the country that are used as swimming holes. According to the report, 61% of swimming holes are unsafe to swim in. Taranaki and the Far North have the worst quality. Manawatu River, Ruamahanga River in the Wairarapa, and Whakatane River in the Bay of Plenty are the dirtiest rivers in the country and worst for swimming in. New Ikaroa-Rawhiti MP Meka Whaitiri has been sworn into Parliament today. It's been a month since she won the by-election replacing the late Parekura Horomia. Now she has to find her place in the party and concentrate on keeping her campaign promises. Irena Smith has more. An oath to the queen, confirming her place as the member for Ikaroa-Rawhiti Electorate. She started her day at a Labour caucus meeting. She is of course filling the seat of the late Parekura Horomia who passed away 3 months ago. She has been a staff member in parliament, but now she is in the house. Her maiden speech will be next week, and she says that's the time for her to thank those who put her there. And her supporters won't forget why they voted her in, in time we will see what kind of gains she can make for them in return. Irena Smith, Te Karere. Earlier on I spoke to Te Ururoa Flavell of the Maori Party. Today he had his first caucus as co-leader of the Maori Party. I asked him how has his role changed? We're unable to provide subtitles. Staying with Tainui and Ngai Tahu's relativity clause, according to Treaty Negotiations Minister, it's a circumstance that has come from the terms agreed to in the past, that is, if all treaty settlements pass the threshold of $1 billion, Tainui and Ngai Tahu will then be given more settlement money. This relativity clause isn't a part of any other iwi settlement. After the break, The new milk product being launched by a Maori company to sell in Asia. Hundreds took to the streets in Auckland and Wellington to protest against animal testing in researching the effects of marijuana and narcotics on humans. Buck Shelford. Buck Shelford. Hi. You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? Yeah. Of course. Of course. What do you mean? Well, heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. I know. I know. So, I'm a woman ` fat and funny ` and you're a... ex-All Black ` not so funny. So? So? So we've got all of the demographics covered. Not all of them. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Boom. PEOPLE CHATTER News of the UHT milk product is sweeping the world. 90% of the milk consumed in Asia is UHT milk. It's no wonder the Maori dairy company, Miraka Ltd in central North Island is dipping their hand into the UHT pie to boost their revenue. Here's Kereama Wright. Only three years into it, d but Miraka Ltd's business strat ies 8 are ahead of their time. UHT is a long lasting milk product which is quickly becoming the standard throughout the world. Mirakas target market however is China. The milk will be processed in this new 6000 square metre extension to the plant that cost around $25mil to build. Everything, from start to finish will be carried out here. Miraka Ltd is 80% Maori owned, and it's plain to see that with business ventures like this, the future is bright. Miraka turned over more than $200mil in just its second year, last year. The revenue is expected to significantly increase after the UHT plant is launched next February. Kereama Wright, Te Karere. Hundreds took to the streets in Auckland and Wellington today to march against animal testing in researching the effects of marijuana and narcotics on humans. A rally was held on Queen St in Auckland, and another on the steps of Parliament in Wellington, and both began with a moment of silence in respect of their cause. The protestors are seeking a law change so that researchers will need to find another avenue to test the effects of marijuana and narcotics. New Zealand is leading the way as collectors of indigenous history and genealogy. That's according to international expert on indigenous family history research from ancestry.com, Brad Argent. Today he attended the presentation of the new and improved resource of Maori Land Court records and says the collection is gold. These Maori Land Court minutes represent a controversial part of Maori history accessible only on micro film, now that has changed. It's much easier for those who come here to read it instead of viewing on micro-film. Within these books, years of genealogy and history dating back as far as pre-arrival of the voyaging canoes of the Maori to NZ. A collection this international indigenous historian says co-operation between Pakeha and Maori in the early days has put NZ ahead of its game. Most of those who do use our resources have no connection to their families in their home base, their marae, elders or their tribes. The out-dated process of sourcing the film and watching on a monitor in the library has been replaced with a simple book. But that the likelihood that it will ever be accessible online is highly unlikely. Cultural issues also must be considered; Should this material even be online or be restricted to those to whom it belongs? The process was two years in the making. The next step for these librarians is to take it digital. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Visit us tvnz.co.nz/tekarere from 4pm tomorrow After the break, the weather. 50s male. Severe chest pain.
