Even if te reo was compulsory, there's not enough teachers - PM

The Prime Minister also got into the spirit of Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori when she fronted up for the Post Cabinet Press Conference.

However, when the question, should te reo be made compulsory in schools, was put to the Prime Minister, she responded by saying that even if we did, we don't have the teacher workforce to be able to achieve it.
