1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. The late Mary King's daughter has been chosen

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: to succeed her father as queen. Now why Jun is

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: the youngest child of King y to Haitia and she

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: is now the eighth Mary monarch since the establishment of

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: the king y Donga in the nineteenth century. Now Stacey

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Morrison has been at the ceremony today, is with us.

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Heyes, Stacy, Teldra, how are you?

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm very well thank you. Know she's very young, isn't she.

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: She is, she's twenty seven years old. But she's been

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: groomed for this position her whole life. And we had

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: an into the coverage that we did today from tudong

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: Awawai and mud I that reminded us that she was

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: nine at the time that her father, King You tu

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: Hatia became king and so this is very much her

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 3: whole existence as the family got used to Kingi tu

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: Hatia being in that role. And so although she is

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: the youngest, in recent years especially she's been the one

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: who's been quite prominent and quite well known and well

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: seen in all of the big Hui.

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Tertiary educated right, she's got degree from Waikato University. Apparently

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: quite passionate about Kapa Haka. Do we have any idea

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: anything more about her that we know that we can

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of guess where she's going to take this.

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: One thing I'd say about her Kappa Haka is she's

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: quite exceptional. She really stands out, and I guess that's

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: when we see the potential of this queen. Actually, I

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: think that that's when she is really firing, and you go, Wow,

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: this is someone who's got a very strong will and character.

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, at twenty seven years old,

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: we can all say we know ourselves to an extent,

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: but there's more potential And so I see in her

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: a quiet and humble strength. So now her job is

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: to gather the people around her that she feels will

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: be best to guide her. I believe that there may

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: be some who continue on from her father's council, and

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: then she can.

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Sort of set apart. But it's a lot. Remembering that

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: it was only.

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: A week ago that Knni t Hat died unexpectedly at

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: sixty nine years old, you're too right.

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Was she a popular choice? Was there anyone else who

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: was caught up as a potential contender?

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: I believe there were other potential contenders, and if you

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: think about the fact she's one of three, she's the

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: youngest and the other two boys. I do believe there

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: were other people who were considered.

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: What your days, you give us some names.

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: I don't, actually I am happy to say I don't.

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Know exactly, but I heard and I no, that was

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: not a name that I heard, But I did hear well.

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: I tell you what I really heard was the rapturous

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: applause when Queenwejnuid de Poor entered two dung Awawai today

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: and it actually took everyone by surprise because that didn't

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: actually happen for her father. And someone described to me

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: that it felt like a collective holding of breath.

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: And then she came through the wild War and she was.

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: Announced as the next monarch, and people just burst into applause,

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: and apart from all the kuttnger that were flowing and

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: all of the haker, it was an incredible moment.

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: It brought me to tears. A lot of us were just.

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: So in the moment that we couldn't quite describe at

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: the time how emotional it felt. But it was definitely

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: part of her losing her father so young, being twenty seven,

64
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: who's are and yet quite hopeful in terms of, like

65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: you say, she's a well educated woman who's ready for

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: this position even though she.

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: Has these young years. So it was quite an exceptional day.

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: That's a moment that people who have been to say

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: that Theyda Yka who's tongue, he said, I don't know

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,280

Speaker 3: Nile Way Honnoid they bought or you can call it

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: in our way. For sure, I believe was anointed and

Speaker 3: named as the next monarch whilst.
