MAKE ALL MOTORWAY SIGNS BILINGUAL AND DROP THE ENGLISH VERSE OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

Is it not time, after 41 years of Maori Language Week, to take two significant steps: make all motorway signs bilingual and drop the English verse of the New Zealand National Anthem?

But if Wales, Ireland and Canada can have their main traffic signs in two languages, why can't we?

But here's a really easy suggestion to get everybody in the country singing Te Reo on a regular basis.

If we leave the English verse off the New Zealand Anthem at high profile ceremonial occasions, like rugby tests, we'll encourage ALL New Zealanders to a) learn the Maori words and b) sing them often…..

How about half the haka 'sung' in English then? 
When will this nonsense end?

About 99% of kiwis don't care about maori language which, let's be honest, is made up recently with all those BS grammar rules and pronunciation rules. When someone is on expensive life support for decades and despite billions of dollars, still lies there dying, getting no better, it is time to pull the plug. This goes for maori language as well. If it survives through parents teaching their kids, as does all the other languages spoken in NZ, then fine, but if not then lets spend the $billions on something useful...like hospitals for ALL kiwis or education for ALL kiwis or whatever.
I recently asked the ANZ who quoted on the maori language phone message that they "support all things maori" if I pay off my mortgage in a full and final settlement, how many more times will I be expected to pay it of as a full and final settlement??!! 
These people who think it should be compulsory are wannabe dictators. At my kids school, athletics on school sports day is not compulsory, but school security had all exits covered to stop kids escaping the compulsory haka a few weeks earlier. Shows what deluded socialists people are running the schools these days. Even many maori have no interest in the haka and have no wish to be a warrior....maybe they have seen domestic violence and hate all violence? And there's Andrew Little suggesting it's made compulsory despite NZ slippping into 4th world status. He is no leader. His understanding of that much hated word "democracy" is so far from the mark.
