Hugh Perrett: OPEN LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTERDear Prime Minister, Many, many of we New Zealanders are heartily sick of and extremely annoyed at your Government’s ongoing campaign to bring about a change in our country’s name from New Zealand to Aotearoa. This has obviously in effect involved instructing Government Departments and major media (at least) to continually push the name Aotearoa in association with or, increasingly, at the expense of our country’s name, New Zealand. We, as a country have spent billions of dollars over many, many years promoting the name New Zealand and giving it identity and meaning internationally. It is our Brand name in the same way as names like Coca Cola, Colgate, Persil, Watties, Palmolive, Milo, Vegemite and many others are brand names instantly conveying the identity, positive benefits and positive consumer associations with them. None of these brand owners would for a second contemplate changing the name of these branded products....... breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2021/08/hugh-perrett-open-letter-to-prime.html
