CALL TO REPLACE ROYAL HONOURS SYSTEM WITH SOMETHING MORE KIWI - ORDER OF TUI?
Is an Order of Tui something that could ever fly? Could a Kauri Grand Companion stand the test of time?
Victoria University of Wellington public law expert Dean Knight believes so.
He says the current royal honours system is antiquated, with too much emphasis on sirs and dames, harking back to a monarchical past that was not relevant to the present.
He wants a more Kiwi flavour to the way we recognise good sorts such as changing the titles used to te reo Māori or having orders which reflect distinctly New Zealand symbols.......
