About Maui Street

I didn't start Maui Street with a particular objective in mind. At the back of my mind I wanted to address the shortage of Māori voice in the blogosphere. The older this blog got the more I wanted to address the shortage of Māori voices in the media too.

Maui Street fills an important niche. I write mostly on issues that affect Maori, especially political issues, and I will do my best to post at least weekly.

I welcome any feedback or anyone that wants to discuss something with me. You can get in touch with me at godfermorg@myvuw(dot)ac(dot)nz


About Me

I'm based in Wellington and I whakapapa to Te Pahipoto and Lalomanu (Samoa).

I appear regularly in the New Zealand and international media. I've written for the Guardian, the Herald, the Herald on Sunday, Mana, Overland and The Wireless. I do occasional political commentary on Māori TV, Radio New Zealand and TV3.

Take your time searching through Maui Street and I hope you find something of interest, something of value or something that incites you.
