Isnt it ironic that South Akl hosts two of its most major pasifika events throughout this month. The only news that appears on the national herald is about two fights by young people at the festival, Ok so out of 200,000 people, young, old, and in between who attended a marvelous event celebrating our polynesian cultures.. The herald goes and publishes this news? ! Over 2x fights? Auuee, must be really bored at the herald over the weekend. How about publishing the fact that hundreds of secondary schools participated, hours and hours goes into practice, community engagement and cultural revitalisation is at its best! .. Think its time we re-think our mainstream media. Because clearly they ain't capturing the truth of a beautiful event. otherwise Please NZ herald go and write about every other brawl in every other major event in akl? that happens every other weekend. Seriously?
