Great, now I need a degree in Te Reo just to find my way to the beach.

Bloody council wasting our rates on renaming parks instead of fixing the potholes.

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T06:50:45.000Z

are important too but this isn't either/or. Both can get funding.

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T06:41:45.000Z

Honestly love to see it. These places had Māori names long before they were changed, about time we acknowledged that.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T07:35:45.000Z

nah get stuffed. It's a waste of money and time.

Morgan Lee2026-06-29T06:50:45.000Z

If they can rename parks why can't they fix the trains? Priorities right?

ffs here we go, next they'll rename the whole country. Just leave the parks alone.

Hana Stewart2026-06-29T07:41:45.000Z

my rates shouldn't go to this virtue signalling crap.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T07:27:45.000Z

About time we stopped pretending colonialism didn't happen. Happy to see these names back.

Chloe Martin2026-06-29T07:35:45.000Z

So many other actual problems and this is what council focuses on? Classic.

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T07:41:45.000Z

is respecting the original names 'virtue signalling'? It's just history.

Cool but how do I pronounce it? They should put pronounciations on signs.

Morgan Lee2026-06-29T08:11:45.000Z

use Google like the rest of us. It's not that hard.

Aria Wilson2026-06-29T08:28:45.000Z

signs do include pronunciation guides sometimes. Or just ask a local.

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T07:48:45.000Z

Embrace the change. Makes Aotearoa special. Love it.
