Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Glen Innes state house tenant, Ioela Niki Rauti is fighting eviction, taking her plight to the high court. The court ruled against Rauti this week, and the housing company that owns the house says she has to go. Ripeka Timutimu has the latest. Niki Rauti is determined to stay put in this state house. Rauti has lived in the house for 21 years. In October 2016, the house was handed over to the Tamaki Regeneration Company. But the house is one of 2800 houses that will be turned into 7500 new houses. Rauti and her supporters say they are here for the long run. Rauti continues to face an uncertain future about this house she calls home. Ripeka Timutimu, Te Karere. A new support programme for Maori whanau to deal with family violence has been launched in Christchurch. Tupono is a response from Sir Mark Solomon to the horrific statistics for Maori dealing with this issue. And it's hoped the programme can also be used by mainstream providers dealing with Maori families. Sir Mark Solomon says that Maori should be at the forefront of dealing with family violence. Tupono is the name of a new program launched by South Island iwi. It's designed to assist support workers to lead whanau to a family violence free life. Gwyneth Beard understands the impact of abuse. She is one of the advocates of the program because she believes tikanga Maori can help guide whanau to a better life. Whanau Ora commissioning agency Te Putahitanga has funded this program. Local whanau indicate what they need and what the program needs to do to help assist them. Family violence statistics among Maori are horrific and it's hoped this program is a solution for all whanau who are affected by this problem. Irena Smith, Te Karere. People who work with victims of family violence from across various sectors, including former perpetrators, gathered in Wellington today to come up with solutions for breaking the cycle of domestic violence. The family violence summit was hosted by Justice Minister Amy Adams and Social Development Minister Anne Tolley. Eruera Rerekura reports. Government Ministers and social development agencies gathered today. Their goal: To put a stop to violence against children and women. But the Oranga Tamariki had a confession to make: The Minister says iwi and whanau have the solutions. But this former perpetrator says there's still some ignorance within Maori communities. According to figures from 2014, half of those who use Women's Refuge services are Maori, and over half of the number of family violence offenders. He also says intervention is the most important thing. A positive sign in 10 years' time that these conversations are seeing benefits, is the fewer amount of people going to prison. He has a word of advice to those seeking help: Kill people with kindness. Eruera Rerekura, Te Karere. After the break, the Auckland Council takes te reo Maori to new heights. 29 levels, to be exact.

The 29 levels of the building has been given a name from the Maori calendar and the Matariki constellation. As Te Okiwa McLean reports, the council encourages the rest of Auckland to follow suit. Taking te reo to the next level. Te Reo Maori has been incorporated in the lifts at Auckland Council. Every floor from ground floor to the top floor, floor 29, has a Maori name. They are the very first te reo Maori elevators in the world. The concept behind the Maori names was taken from the Maori calendar and the Matariki constellation. Valuing te ao Maori is one of the council's main values. And the challenge is laid. Another language revitalisation strategy to add to the books. So therefore, take up the challenge. Te Okiwa McLean, Te Karere. Tonight the Blues play the Lions in what will be the first real test for the touring side and it will begin even before the ball is kicked off.
