Who is objecting to it? Making an observation is not making an objection.
Coverture was the basis of wives taking on their husbands’ surnames - times change and traditions can change as well but who are we to cast the first stone on those who choose to follow or not follow traditions?

Why is a woman's surname even up for discussion? Incredible some of the attitudes shown on here.
As for the preoccupation with the Greens, it's quite incredible what you all fixate on.
Perhaps the fixation on here is due to the Greens voter base growing, despite their disastrous last six months.
I don't care for the Greens, but I do care for the environment, which is the main reason I swung away from National 10 or so years ago. The current coalition seems to be even worse in this regard with complete disregard for the environment and little evidence that they believe in humanity's impact on Climate Change at all, ... like many of you I suppose.

I was mislead by the exclamation mark when the observation was made by the poster

Interislander ferry Aratere to dock at Picton Harbour this afternoon after grounding
Off the rocks, still floating & water tight ... which is more than can be said for Labour & the Green Cling-on's
continuing their new trajectories of frequently getting dunked and having 'dropped in it' kamikaze moments

Yeah, like the contract clowns who were working outside my home.
I left a sign asking them to turf my lawn.
They took that to mean throw it out, and fill it in with shingle!

Poor thing has already suffered enough and is unlikely to offend again blah blah blah ….
And politicians who spout platitudes about human rights, the downtrodden etc while racking in salaries & benefits to the tune of over 175k a year should not be treated like common thieves - they deserve special consideration and reduced responsibility & accountability. After all, they have done so much good & showed so much aroha for their fellow human beings. All BS of course but that’s what the justice system is about.

Providing they can arrange nearby parking,I imagine she will get a lot of supporters from the Party.
