Dear Editor, (Sent to the Weekend Sun 2/5/16 and Rotorua Daily Post 2/5/16)
Much is happening on the subject of local place-name changes, the latest
being the simple and elegant name of Cambridge Park, which is being
changed to Te Waha O Te Marangai, which translates to "the mouth of the
storm".
This is being done without the consent of the local residents who use
the park and they are understandably furious.
While the European place-names are being challenged by Maori, no-one is
attempting the reverse.
There has never been any suggestion that a Maori name become anything
other than what it is.
However it does make me think of a new European moniker for our city and
I have a suggestion.
Our city could be re-named Brownton in honour of Archdeacon Alfred
Nesbit Brown.
Perhaps one of our churches could also take on a name-change - Brownton
Abbey has a nice ring to it!

Dear Sir, (Sent to the Dominion Post 29/4/16)
Final proof ( if more were needed ), that Maori are indeed a uniquely privileged race, is provided when we begin to see articles denying it, such as the one by Peter Meihana, Dom' Post, ( 6/4/16 ) in which he simply denies demonstrable facts. However, in the current "Alice in Wonderland" world of moral relativism, denial of facts has long since been a definite strategy.
Presumably Mr Meihana is "Maori" ( i.e. part Maori ) or feels that he is, and no doubt he adheres to the politically correct and racist practice of completely disavowing the manifold influences that his non-Maori ancestry has upon his person.
Like so many others, I find it impossible to believe that it's just pure coincidence that the misled and malcontent element of Maoridom unwaveringly believe anything that is to their advantage - and nothing that isn't.
Fair minded objectivity ? - what's that ?
It would come as no surprise to many N.Zer's if it turned out that Maori were not only the most privileged race in N.Z but in the entire world.
If a disproportionate number of Maori really are "failing" then the reasons must be sought not in any imagined racism but in forbidden areas which are ruled "out-of-bounds" by the anti-Western, Left-wing,
P.C tyranny ; namely, in all those circumstances arising out of the fact that at the time of colonisation / civilisation of N.Z, Maori consciousness and therefore culture was thousands of years behind that of Western civilisation.
And let's be very clear, whatever the reason was for the backwardness of Maori society at that time, it had nothing to do with anyone but themselves.
The "wicked white man" could only help them to bridge this vast gap, and much has been achieved. Ultimately however, this task is one that Maori must shoulder themselves.
This county's treaty/ grievance industry goes from bad to worse with every passing day, and it is all based upon an "Orchestrated litany of lies", ( to borrow Judge Mahon's magnificent phrase ).
