New Zealand minister wrapped up in Māori language chocolate bar row

Anti-racism video by Marama Davidson featured chocolate labelled in te reo Mori, breaching rules against product promotion

A New Zealand minister has had to revise her anti-racism social media posts featuring a popular brand of chocolate, after the prime minister requested their removal because it breached cabinet rules about product promotion.

Green party MP Marama Davidson posted a video of herself to Instagram on Monday holding five blocks of Whittakers creamy milk chocolate, which have recently been rebranded with the Mori translation Miraka Kirmi in honour of the upcoming Mori language week - te wiki o te reo Mori. She also posted photographs on Twitter and Facebook.
