Watching the cricket, where’s this Tamaki Makarau that it’s played? Its Auckland!
Oh… it’s on TVNZ… where the social engineering is strong. Thought you were sorting it out Winston?
And I will back up my argument. Lots of cities have European and lots have Maori names (Tauranga, Rotorua, Whangarei, Taupo, etc). These cities have a long history behind the names. Would the Maori like it if a Europeans decided to rename Tauranga to say Wizardton? It would be offensive and disrespectful to history. I’m entitled to the same view the other way. Auckland was a European settlement like Tauranga was predominantly Maori.
Let history be history and stop social engineering. Go get ‘em Winston!
