Greens' co-leader Marama Davidson has been criticised for breaking cabinet rules when she posted images of the Whittakers blocks which have been branded with te reo for creamy milk - Miraka Kirimi.

Introducing te reo Maori to its packaging, on the surface, should be a win for Whittaker's chocolate. After all, it is one of the country's two official languages. But the backlash to the decision shows it is not so simple.
