The Latest from Te Timatanga Hou o Tainui

Message:
Kia Ora, The Tainui.com.au Team (TTT) have been on a bit of a break but we’re back into full swing. It’s been sometime since we last sent out an email and thought it was about time we did. There have been plenty of things happening within the Maori Community in and around Brisbane and the Gold Coast so we will try to keep you as well informed as we can. To do this we need your help. Please send us details of what is happening where you are. No detail is too big or small or insignificant. Send us an email to panui@tainui.com.au and we will share with everyone what is happening in your neck of the woods.

We also welcome you letting us know what you would like to see more of on Tainui.com.au. We have had a large number of newly registered users and not all are of Tainui descent. Although Tainui.com.au has been set up to keep our people informed both in Australia and abroad, it would seem that we are also able to offer our Whanaunga from other Iwi some much needed support and information that helps them have a sense of home and whakawhanaungatanga that only those that live away from Aotearoa can truly appreciate.

Please remember to log in with your login details, this will help us out a lot in getting a better idea of user statistics and you will be able to take full advantage of all the features on Tainui.com.au. Come visit us regularly for updates and current events.  Forgotten your username and/or password, send us an email and we’ll see what we can do to help you get re connected.
