Perfecting the Partnership: Revitalising the Maori Language in New Zealand Education and Society 1987-2014 [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper looks at aspects of Māori language revitalisation since the passage of the Māori Language Act, 1987 which gave official status to the language. It is a sequel to an article on Māori language in education published in this journal the following year [Benton, R. A. (1988). The Maori language in New Zealand education. Language, Culture and Curriculum, 1(2), 75–83]. It traverses developments in the compulsory education sector, the strategies formulated by government agencies, public attitudes towards the language, and policies articulated by the major political parties. Particular attention is paid to the observations and recommendations made in relation to the Māori language in the Waitangi Tribunal's report Ko Aotearoa Tēnei [(2011). Wellington: Legislation Direct].
