NEW ZEALAND SHOULD BECOME AOTEAROA BY PUBLIC WILL, NOT MEDIA STEALTH – Karl du Fresne It can't have escaped anyone's attention that for years a determined campaign has been under way to rename New Zealand. It's being driven by activists, bureaucrats, teachers, academics, politicians and people in the media who think "New Zealand" is too Eurocentric and insufficiently reflective of the biculturalism that supposedly defines us as a country. It's not a formal, co-ordinated campaign, but a spontaneous, unofficial one that started small and has steadily gathered momentum as more people take up the cause. Radio New Zealand was an early adopter and remains in the front line of the push for change, as it is with usage of the Māori language generally...... www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/opinion/118056549/new-zealand-should-remain-as-new-zealand-not-aotearoa
