new zealands name
In our latest Newshub-Reid Research poll we asked, what do you think the official name of the country should be?
The results show 52 percent said keep it as just New Zealand. Just over a third - 36.2 percent - thought we should add Aotearoa in, and 9.6 percent think we should ditch New Zealand completely and go with Aotearoa.
Asked what he thinks our country's name should be, Hipkins said: "It's New Zealand but I'm also equally comfortable with Aotearoa as well."
"The official name of the country is New Zealand, and Aotearoa was never the name for this country by any Māori of this country, and particularly not the South Island."

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
