Yeah nah, another taxpayer-funded wankfest. Thousands of people standing around in the cold watching some bloke wave a stick. Get back to work.

As a student learning te reo, seeing Matariki on the national stage is huge. More of this please! ✨

Bet all those people parked illegally and blocked the streets. Classic Auckland. Hope they all got ticketed.

mate i was there and it was absolutely stunning. the kapa haka, the karanga, the sunrise over the whenua... chills the whole time. ppl need to stop hating on culture

blocked the roads though. Don't care about your 'culture' when I'm late for work

Would've loved to go but had to work. At least they've started doing these livestreams now. Progress.
