It’s reported that the Mayor of Hamilton wants the name of the city changed to Kirikiriroa, a Maori word.
It is well past time for this offensive absurdity to stop. This would be another move in the “we must honour and privilege our
part-Maoris” movement, which has taken hold of our pathetically correct establishment in the last decade or more.
Honour and privilege is reserved for those who deserve honour and privilege. For every indicator of wellbeing, of positive societal contribution, the Euro-Maoris score zero or below. But for the commission of theft, murder etc. they score close to 100, if not above.
The time now is for all the Maori language place names to be changed to the English language. When the Euro-Maoris begin to right all the wrongs, all the mayhem they have wrought, then we could consider giving them some kudos.
Giving someone what he deserves is called justice.
