I heard there was a J-Walker in Whanganui the other day. Definitely
Jacinda's fault eh. 🤣

Māori name changes for Auckland suburbs: NZ Geographic Board opens consultations on proposals

The New Zealand Geographic Board has opened consultations on proposals to “correct and restore” two Māori place names in Auckland.

The proposals call for the restoration of the original Māori name Te Tōangaroa to an area on Auckland CBD’s waterfront and correction in the spelling of Takanini to Takaanini.

Local iwi Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei made the proposal to restore the traditional Māori name Te Tōangaroa and assign it as an official place name for an area of Auckland’s waterfront.

The name would apply to the area bordered by Britomart Place, Beach Rd, Quay St and State Highway 16.

The piece of land houses Spark Arena, the Strand Railway Station, Te Taou Reserve, Mahuhu ki te Rangi Park and several apartment buildings.

Nothing like a little extra to confuse Mayor Brown & the perpetually confuddled AT even more

NB Spelling lessons might take considerably longer, provided further distractions don't crop up earlier

So now renaming reclaimed land?That will really confuse the Jaffa's aagh !
"The name Waitematā was gifted to reflect the closeness of the harbour next to the station, which is built on reclaimed land. "

Northland power outage: Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown claims bolt removal led to pylon fall

Auckland Mayoral Pylon Maintenance Expert turns the light on Northland

Be careful that you don't Brown them off - Wayne ,, or they might lock all the gates on roads down to Jaffaville

When the pylon fell over, the local rumour in the North was that they had been waterblasting rust scale, and that that had weakened the supports at the base. Last night's Advocate reported that nuts were loosened on the base supports, and the movement this permitted got bigger and bigger until the structure failed.
