long memory... i worked the bp by the roundabout on the way through wanganui. not the big one thats there opposite the pool, but the little one up furthur.

There's some dodgy intersections on the road from Waitara into New Plymouth. I expect sunstrike at certain times of the year doesn't help either.

You're going to be disappointed. And here's the official explanation of the name:
'Waka' means 'vessel' and 'kotahi' means 'one' so our Māori name conveys the concept of 'travelling together as one' and embraces integration, affordability, safety, responsiveness and sustainability. The Waka Kotahi logo was inspired by the concept of life's pathways.
I shall make no comment!

No they will leave as is so woke mob have nothing to cry about.
Here’s a question for our academics though. Why are the likes of roads and housing depts (agencies that own assets) routinely called by Maori titles now but the media or Jacinda et al never call the police or corrections by their Maori title?????

Why do you boomers get so bent out of shape about this? Like, who cares, really. I don't speak Te Reo but I fully embrace it because if for no other reason, it makes us and our country unique. You're a racist, I get it,but can't you just, I don't know, shut the hell up?
Actually I bet you dont like "the gays" and vote neshnul. So the trifecta of intolerance.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave

Well, I'm an old boomer and i don't mind the dual languages. As far as anything changing under National, it won't. Even the Nats realise this is a bi-racial country officially. They did i think about 80% of the treaty settlements, ie the easy ones.
Whoever is in govt will get the same recommendations from the civil servants. And all parties will take the cheapest option.
Reducing the country's reliance on fossil fuels will continue - as it must.
Whether you like the path we're on or not, we'll continue down it as it's IMO anyway, the right one.
If you don't like it, I'd suggest Australia. They are still arguing about giving the native Aboriginals a voice in govt. Probably the most racist country left in the world.

When I was younger I thought I'm OK with immigrants if they make the effort to fit in. Our country our rules. Learn the fucking language.
Later I realised, the Europeans are the immigrants too. Ok so English is useful for world commerce. By why weren't we taught Maori as well? Happens in most European countries that you learn 2 or 3 languages.
Unless of course we think that European are superior and shouldn't worry ourselves with all that malarkey.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Dunno how old you are but I definitely had Maori language lessons at primary school in the 60's , basic stuff, counting, common words, singing, etc. Didn't bother anyone. However College (no Intermediates in those days) the language choice was French or French. However in todays world the more rational choices would be Spanish and Mandarin.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

Back on track for just a mo… in late sept I put in an exemption application or somesuch to be able to register my old project bike. I paid for the application to apply for the exemption form at VTNZ for $109 and made some copies of what I was sending, and sent it thru the post to VTNZ. The bloke at VTNZ told me it would be 10-20 working days. So last week, having heard nothing I decided to email them just to make sure they had me in the system. Immediately got a reply saying they were hoping to be able to respond to me in 25-30 working days. So this morning I rang them just after 8am, went thru the voice menu and sat on the phone for 5min before giving up. Then rang back at 10am, got a different but more hopeful sounding menu that told me I had a wait time of 13-17min. They cut me off 10 min later.
It has occurred to me, while typing this, that working days is unlikely to 5 days per week. Now I feel silly for having such high expectations…
where were we.. oh right, yep spanish, it's a very sexy sounding language and the spanish women are adorable. Mandarin, not so much. But I cannot see a downside to us all, as kiwis, speaking te reo. Kiaora

There are two official languages in NZ and neither of them is English.
