E kore te kūmara e kōrero mō tōna ake reka, engari ka kitea tōna whaihua i roto i āna mahi. Nā reira, e rapu ana a Problem Gambling Foundation ltd i tētahi Pou Arataki whai mātauranga, whai whakaaro, whai mana hoki, hei pou herenga tangata, hei pou whakakaha i ngā wawata o Te Atatū (to mātou māhere rautaki). Ko tēnei tūranga he tūrangawaewae mō te tangata e ū ana ki te kaupapa Māori, e whakatinana ana i ngā mātāpono o Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ā, e ārahitia ai te waka kia ū ki uta, kia toitū ai te oranga o ngā whānau, hapū, iwi me ngā hapori puta noa i Aotearoa.
“Feathers enable the bird to fly; the bird carries the kaupapa home.”
