Compulsory te reo Maori
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 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.
