I te taenga mai o te 24 o Pēpuere, 2026, e mihi ana mātou ki tētahi atu rā mahi, engari he wā whai tikanga anō hoki i roto i te maramataka Hainamana — te waru o ngā rā o te Tau Hou Hainamana, e kiia ana he rā pai hei tīmata anō i te mahi me te tīmata i tētahi haerenga hou. Whai muri i ngā rā kī tonu i ngā huihuinga whānau, ngā whakanuinga mahana, me te okiokinga e tika ana, kua hoki katoa tā mātou tīma ki ō rātou tūranga, kua hihiko, kua rite hoki ki te awhi i ngā whai wāhitanga me ngā wero o te tau kei mua.
He wā tonu te Hakari o te Koanga hei whakamahara i a tātou ki te hiranga o te hononga, te whakawhetai, me te whakahoutanga. Ki ā mātou kaimahi, he wā utu nui tēnei hei whakakotahi anō i te hunga e arohaina ana, hei whakawhitiwhiti kata i runga i ngā tēpu kai, hei whakahou i te tinana me te hinengaro. Ehara ēnei wā okiokinga i te wā okiokinga i roto i tā mātou ahunga whakamua, engari he whakaritenga nui hei āwhina i a mātou kia hoki mai me te kaha ake, te arotahi ake, me te hihiri ake. I tēnei rā, i a mātou e tīmata anō ana i ngā mahi, kua rite katoa ngā mema o tā mātou kamupene ki te anga whakamua me te hihiri hou me te kaha ake o te kawenga.
Hei kamupene tuku utanga ngaio e tohunga ana ki te kawe i ngā taputapu nunui me ngā taputapu taumaha i te moana, e mau tonu ana tō mātou piripono ki tā mātou kaupapa matua — te whakarato i ngā otinga kawe utanga pono, haumaru, me te whai hua mō ngā utanga uaua. I roto i ngā tau, kua whakapakari tonu mātou i te tohungatanga ki te tuku utanga kaupapa mā te whakamahi iwhata papatahingā ipu, ngā ipu tuwhera te taupoki,pakaru te papatipungā kaipuke, me ētahi atu tikanga kawe kua whakaritea mō ngā utanga kore-paerewa. Ko ia uta kua tukua mai ki a mātou ehara i te mea ko ngā utanga anake engari ko te whakawhirinaki me ngā tumanakohanga hoki a ō mātou kiritaki, ā, ko tēnei whakawhirinaki tonu te mea e akiaki ana i tā mātou whai i te hiranga o te mahi.
I roto i te ao whānui e whanake haere ana i roto i ngā mahi kawe taonga, he mea nui ake i ngā wā katoa te ngāwari, te āheinga hangarau, me te wheako. He maha ngā wā ka uru te whakamahere uaua, te whakahaere motuhake, te mahi tahi maha-ara, me te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero tata i waenga i ngā rōpū katoa ki te kawe taputapu nui. Kua whakaatu tonu tā mātou tīma i te āheinga ki te whakahaere i ēnei uauatanga — mai iutanga kaupapate aromatawai me te hoahoa huarahi ki ngā mahi tauranga, te tirotiro i ngā here, me ngā whakaritenga tuku whakamutunga. I te taenga atu ki te tau 2026, ka whakakaha ake mātou i tō mātou aroaro ki tēnei rāngai motuhake, ka whakapakari i ngā hononga mahi tahi puta noa i ngā tauranga me ngā kaikawe, ā, ka whakarei ake i ō mātou kaha ratonga hei tautoko pai ake i ngā wātaka kaupapa me ngā whāinga arumoni a ō mātou kiritaki.
He wā whakaaroaro me te maioha hoki te rā mahi tuatahi o te tau. E mihi nui ana mātou ki ngā kiritaki, ki ngā hoa mahi, me ngā hoa mahi katoa i tautoko mai i a mātou i te tau kua hipa. Nā tō koutou mahi tahi, tō koutou māramatanga, me tō koutou whakapau kaha ki te kounga i āhei ai tātou ki te wikitoria i ngā āwangawanga me te whakatutuki i te ahunga whakamua pumau. Nā ēnei whanaungatanga pumau ka tipu tonu tātou, ka auaha, ka waihanga uara puta noa i ngā rohe.
Ki te titiro whakamua, ko te tau hou te tohu o ngā whai wāhitanga hou, te whānui haere o ngā rerenga hokohoko, me ngā whanaketanga kaupapa hou puta noa i te ao. Ka whakatata atu mātou ki tēnei heke mai me te māia me te hihiri. Me te tīma whakatapua, te wheako kua kohia, me te whakaaro pumau ko te kiritaki te tuatahi, kua rite mātou ki te haere tahi me ā mātou kiritaki i ā rātou haerenga - ahakoa te kawe i tētahi waeine nui kotahi, te whakahaere rānei i tētahi tuku kaupapa whakauru puta noa i ngā whenua.
I tēnei rā whakahōutanga whakahirahira, e hiahia ana mātou ki te tuku i ō mātou mihi nui ki ō mātou kiritaki me ngā hoa mahi katoa. Kia tau te angitu ki tō pakihi i te tau e haere ake nei, kia pumau ai ō mahi, kia angitu ai hoki ō koutou mahi katoa. Kia hohonu ake te mahi tahi, kia nui haere ngā whai wāhitanga, ā, kia nui ake ngā whakatutukitanga i ngā tumanakohanga.
I a tātou e takahi tahi ana ki tēnei upoko hou, e mārama tonu ana tā tātou whakapau kaha: ki te mahi me te ngaio, ki te whakautu me te whai hua, me te tuku me te pono. Me te whakawhetai i roto i ō tātou ngākau me te whakatau i roto i ā tātou mahi, e tumanako ana mātou ki te mahi tahi me koutou puta noa i te tau 2026 — te hanga hononga kaha ake, te whakaoti i ngā kaupapa whakamiharo, me te waihanga angitu tahi i roto i te whakahaere kaupapa.
Kia tau te tau ki te angitu, kia puāwai te pakihi, kia nui te taonga. Kia anga whakamua tātou katoa, kia waiho te tau 2026 hei tau tipu, hei tau manawanui, hei tau whakatutukitanga.
