New Zealand To Vote On Matariki Public Holiday
Sources: National Business Review (NZPA) and New Zealand bank holidays and public holidays (qppstudio.net). The Matariki Day Bill was one of the two bills pulled out of this week's members' ballot, which means that the bill proposing that Maori New Year be made a public holiday will get a hearing in New Zealand's Parliament.
