Saying it right

Sally Kidson Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Kiwis have been mangling Māori place names for decades but that doesn't make it tika (correct). As part of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori Stuff asked tutors at NMIT to take us through how to say some commonly mangled place names. Have a look at the video on this story for some tips. What tips do you have for getting it right?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
