That is a different issue. I certainly object to the use of Maori within an English language publication without a translation. However some Maori words have become loan words within NZ English. If the government department (for example) wishes to communicate with as wide an audience as possible, then only well established loan words should be used and a Maori version provided as well.
I would still like to know how NZ lags the rest of the world ? How is that due to not getting everyone to speak English only?
Ardern - no back down on Maori issues and initiatives.

Excellent news indeed and hope Ardern keeps her promise.
Time to let the 2023 election be a defacto referendum on how NZers feel about the Maorification of NZ by Ardern & her Maori cabal.
I am a member iof St John. Their latest plan is in a mixture of English and Maori. I asked them for an English only version as I wanted to understand the whole presentation. I know enough Māori to realise the Māori passages covered different topics from the English passages. The reply was that they had just the one presentation.
I notice in media stories they are referred to as Hato Hone St John.....St John St John. What's the point? I have always admired St John's Ambulance as an organisation, but can pretty much guarantee they will deteriorate from here as they get distracted by this nonsense.
From a Lab supporter -
A record 46,400 new homes built last year
incredible. seeing the results in falling house prices, flat rents
184,000 homes built under Labour in just 5 years. 1 in 11 homes in the country were built since Ardern become PM. Biggest building boom in history
They all seem to be doing it, Greenpeace, Forest & Bird etc., they have all just climbed on the bandwagon.
Greenpeace Aotearoa (not New Zealand) unsubscribed me (after 15yrs) because I objected to being addressed in Maori. Fine, I won't support their environmental action either...
This is a lose / lose all round.....
