Kua roa te kīanga ko te mākete maitai te "wā tino nui i te marama o Poutū-te-rangi me Āperira, te wā kore utu i te marama o Mei". Engari i tēnei tau i pāngia te mākete maitai e te Covid-19 i te mea i aukatia te kawe waka me te kawe waka ā-rohe. I te hauwhā tuatahi, kua pāngia ngā kamupene maitai e ngā raruraru pēnei i te nui o ngā taonga maitai, te hekenga nui o te tono i raro i te whenua, me te hekenga nui o ngā hua a ngā kamupene. Nō reira, i ngaro te wā tino nui i te marama o Poutū-te-rangi. Whai muri i te urunga ki te hauwhā tuarua, nā te whakaurunga tonu o te kaupapa here whakaheke ā-motu mō te ārai i te ōhanga nui me te tere tonu o te tīmatanga anō o te mahi me te whakaputanga ā-motu, ka tīmata te piki haere o te tono i raro i te whenua i roto i te mākete maitai, ā, ka haere tonu te hekenga o ngā taonga maitai mō ngā marama e rua karapīpiti. Engari i te whakaaro koinei te mākete. Whai muri i te hinganga nui, kāore i te rawaka te "wā tino nui i te marama o Āperira". Mai i ngā wheako o mua, me te taenga mai o te wā ua i te tonga, ka tīmata te tono maitai ki te neke mai i te wā tino nui ki te wā kore utu i muri i te Rā Reipa, ā, he ngoikore te nuinga o ngā utu maitai, nō reira he kōrero mō te "wā kore utu i te marama o Mei".

I tēnei tau, i te pānga o te COVID-19, kua whakaroahia te tono mō te hekenga o te rino, ā, kua whakaroahia te tūnga o te NPC&CPPCC o te motu ki te mutunga o Mei. I te mea kua tata mai te wā o ngā wāhanga e rua o te motu, ka puta mai ngā hua maha mai i ngā pānga o ngā wāhanga e rua, ka pupuhi te mahana ki roto i te mākete maitai, ka tino whakanui ake i te whakapono o te mākete me ngā ahumahi hekenga o te rino.

Nā te rerekētanga i waenganui i te tuku me te tono i arahi i tētahi wā whakangāwari ā-wāhanga. Ehara i te mea uaua ki te kite i ia tau ka haere tahi ngā wāhanga e rua o te motu me tētahi "āwhā tiaki taiao." Hei whakarite i te kounga o te hau i roto i ngā wāhanga e rua, me whakamutu ētahi kamupene maitai i te whakaputa i tēnei wā. Nā tēnei kua whakaitihia te pēhanga tuku mākete ki tētahi taumata, kua tāpirihia te hekenga tonu o ngā taonga, te tere o te tuku tono, me ētahi atu āhuatanga. Nā te rerekētanga o te tuku me te tono mākete kua arahi i tētahi wā whakangāwari. E matapaetia ana hoki ka piki ake ngā utu maitai nā tēnei pānga.

I te nuinga o te wā, i raro i ngā manaakitanga pai e tumanakohia ana e te Runanga o te Iwi o te Motu me te Runanga o te Iwi o te Motu, kua whakatikahia te wairua o te mākete maitai, engari kei te kitea tonu te raruraru o te korenga o te tono. Hei whakatutuki i tēnei, me whakamahi ngā kamupene maitai i te pānga mahi tahi o te mekameka ahumahi, me te aroturuki i ngā mōhiohio tono o ngā ahumahi o raro i te wā tika. Whai muri i ngā pūrongo mahi a te kāwanatanga i tukuna e ngā huihuinga e rua o te motu i tēnei tau, ka tere tonu tā rātou rapu i ngā whai wāhitanga maitai kei roto.
