Auckland marks 125 years of women’s suffrage

Communications Team from Auckland Council

On 19 September 1893 New Zealand became the first country in the world where women were able to vote in national elections.
Now, 125 years on, Auckland Council is marking this historic moment and the path it paved for the liberation of women with mostly free events and activities for all ages.

Compulsory te reo Maori

Allen from Red Hill

I am against compulsory te reo Maori for a number of reasons. If people wanted to preserve the language why didn't they teach it at home like a lot of our immigrants do, why should we pay because they were too lazy to do it.

If people wanted to preserve the language why didn't they teach it at home like a lot of our immigrants do, why should we pay because they were too lazy to do it. If folk want to learn it I have not problem, but to make it compulsory is wrong. Also te reo Maori is not the true language of the Maori as they had a number of dialogues. Te reo Maori of today is a made up language as they never had works for even things like car, bike, plane, etc. If you listen to a number of other nationals you will hear them use english words like "hard Drive" for a computer because when it was created it was called it a hard drive, they didn't create a new name for it. I am not writing this out of disrespect for Maori folk as I have some very real Maori friends, I just don't think it should be compulsory.
