He kōrero mō Kirikiti Aotearoa (NZC):
Ko te matawhānui a NZC kia noho te kirikiti hei kēmu mā te katoa, hei kēmu tauroa. Ka whai mātou ki te turaki i ngā taupā e kore ai ētahi e whai wāhi mai me te whakarite i tētahi wāhi e kauawhitia nei ngā tāngata nō ngā wāhi katoa. Ko tā mātou whāinga, ko te whakapakari i te kēmu mā te whakaputa i ētahi hautaonga me ētahi wheako e whai tikanga ana, mā te whakawhanake i ētahi kaitākaro whai pūkenga, me te whakakotahi i ō tātou hapori mā te kirikiti.
E hihiri ana, e ngāwari ana hoki te taiao mahi kua whakaritea e NZC, ā, he nui ngā ara e tipu ā-whaiaro ai, ā-whaiutu ai hoki te tangata. He nui ngā painga e wātea ana ki ō mātou kaimahi, arā, he rōpū pāpori kei te tū, he hōtaka āwhina kaimahi, he rongoā ārai rewharewha i ia tau me ngā rā whakarato hapori. Waihoki, ka hoatu hoki e mātou ētahi tīkiti utukore ki ngā kēmu a te kapa BLACKCAPS me te kapa WHITE FERNS, ā, ka tukua hoki ētahi kākahu whaitohu i ia tau me ētahi atu mea—katoa e whai wāhi ana ki te wairua ngahau me te wairua whakaaro ā-kapa kei NZC!
