Restaurant owner says locals want to keep it named after alleged rapist Bully Hayes
Akaroa’s Bully Hayes restaurant intends to change its name in October and while some locals are against the change, others say they'll support whatever the owner does.
In June this year, academic Scott Hamilton criticised the Canterbury restaurant and bar, saying the name was "a tribute to the most notorious of all the Pacific's slave traders", William ‘Bully’ Hayes.
Owner Wayne Jones says he's now trialling four names suggested by friends for a few weeks at a time: Jonesy’s, Hilly Bays, Wayne’s World, and Bully Stays.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
