Excited for Ngaati Whakaue! #TeMatatini
Should be tino emotional acknowledging Tā Bom Gillies. #TeMatatini #MāoriBattalion
Your own mōteatea hits different. 😭 #TeMatatini

I've been enjoying tuning in to #TeMatatini. Do you have any idea what the waiata that could not be broadcast due to copyright issues was? Te reo words were translated to english by Scotty Morrison but did not recognise what tune it was.

@jeremy_pm Ah no, was watching on a crappy laptop so couldn't pick it up either.
