Wokeism and PC gone mad - $1.3m spent to rename Otago University te reo's name - at a time when the university is under financial stress.
Sooner the new government cut back funding for such nonsense, the better.

The name University of Otago remains, but the reo name has changed to Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka - a metaphor meaning A Place of Many Firsts.

I also shake my head a bit with respect to them sponsoring the HIghlanders.

I am giving them a bit more time to assess the impact of their actions. However we should keep your previous scorecard (that some posters did not like) to assess performance later.
I think we should join Aukus which Winnie is keen on.

Nothing wrong with two names to reflect the official language. Do you object to any rebranding expense or just those that relate to adequately reflecting official languages?

And she has been a MP for 12 years and a minister! Something very wrong with her family life to behave like that.

How did you describe male National Party MP Van De Molen’s behaviour? Was he a rutting stag?

But maybe Genter will get the same punishment?
Oh sorry, I forgot - we aren't allowed to post Tui ads on here...

How the hell do you justify spending 1.3 million doing it? I can guarantee if you were funding it out of your own pocket you would do it for under 10k and change signage when due to be replaced. Grant Robertson has found nirvana for the fiscally inept.
