Fireworks for Matariki

A number of issues with the sale of fireworks could be solved by simply moving the date into wintertime. Aligning the sale of fireworks with Matariki, for instance, would enable the celebration of a Kiwi holiday, resulting in less work for firefighters due to vegetation not being as dry and with sunset much earlier, enabling people to start letting off fireworks at a more reasonable time.
