I find it extraordinary - that the Authorities are giving unintelligible Maori names that mean nothing to anybody - to all the bodies and organisations and agencies of the health system charged with the distribution of services and treatments around the current pandemic.
Aside from the fact that these names and words - all recently coined to take over from best practice communication - mean nothing to most Maori - and even less to the English-speaking population of New Zealand - and absolutely nothing to hundreds of thousands of recent immigrants who will be struggling to absorb vital information they need for their health and well being.
It just seems entirely counter intuitive to me - and creates doubt in the minds of people trying to get on the internet and look for access to health systems and remedies that just might save their lives.
What these people are doing to communication of needed information and civil defense in New Zealand during a global emergency - MUST - be recognized as a crime and punished with prison time.
