Subject: MAORI / WEATHER
Mr Simon Power, Sir, why do we have to be continually BOMBARDED by Maori language on Television and in this particular case by the use of NZ place names verbally designated in Maori , on “the weather”.
English is by far the most internationally spoken language in the world and is unquestionably our ONLY nationally spoken language.
English is the official international language of law; science; commerce; tourism and diplomacy.
How about having some regard for your listeners, instead of continually insulting them and clearly and knowingly alienating them.
Maori is in no way a national language, let alone an international language. As you are well aware, is hardly spoken by anyone in New Zealand, including Maori, let alone outside it.
What the hell are you trying to prove and who are you trying to prove it to. Are you trying to prove to us that you are a “ big man” and have the power to make us do what you decide we should do?
Ever heard of customers? No customers, no business. As an ex banker surely you know that.
You and your (by inference) Labour mates, are busy driving us (New Zealand) to 3rd world status.
How about becoming a true, proud, loyal New Zealander instead of a sycophant to a Government who have set out to destroy our democracy and way of life — or don’t you believe in democracy.?
We have had a gutsful of TVNZ working for Government in trying to turn us all into Māoris.
