Korero iti
The real revelation for me among the indigenous five-minute spaces was Te Karere. Just as I’d never watched See Here before, so I’d never watched the News in Maori before. It was a salutary shock to feel an illiterate in my own country. It was a shock also to watch five minutes of a totally professional presentation with occasional moments of comprehension and to realise that as far as I can ascertain, none of those items appeared on the Network News. What price separatism? I’ve no idea how Maori people feel about Te Karere; whether for them it’s a service, a token, an obligation or a fingerhold. I found it dislocating, strangely impressive and unmistakeably rich. I also found it followed by The Young Doctors.
