The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern makes her announcement about a Dawn Raids apology. Photo: RNZ The apology's initial date of 26 June was postponed after a Covid-infected tourist plunged Wellington into alert level two. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Minister for Pacific Peoples Aupito William Sio and other government officials wouldn't have been allowed to enter large gatherings. The rescheduled apology event will run from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, at the Auckland Town Hall. At the Pasifika post-Budget breakfast this morning, Aupito told RNZ Pacific there will be community meetings after the apology, intended to unite old and new generations of Pasifika for talanoa around the raids' traumatising grip.
