PRESENTATION SPEECHES IN PARLIAMENT

THE HON. TREVOR MALLARD
"There is no better way to get young people involved than through their peers, and I hope the raps these teams have developed get the recycling message out there and inspire young people to do what they can to protect our environment"

JOHN WEBBER - GLASS PACKAGING FORUM
"Rap is not a music type that I was previously familiar with - but believe me, Che Fu's lyrics resonate with young and old around the country"

DAVID CARTER - GLASS PACKAGING FORUM
"We approached Che Fu and realised that not only was he absolutely right in terms of his personality and profile but we found a meeting of minds"……..
To the winning students……"Entering the competition has taken time and effort and the quality of the musical lyrics which we received bare testimony to that."

CHE FU
"When David Carter and I sat down to do the judging, I was blown away with the amount of thought, effort and research both winning groups had put into writing their lyrics. We can learn much from our youth. I believe many of our young people value and respect Aotearoa and the environment."
