at the Queen's English
OPINION:
Red rag to a bull. That's what the suggestion from the Teaching Council that te reo Māori may eventually become mandatory for teachers has been.
But no surprises there. Because we live in a country where some people go nuts over some weather presenters on TV using what they consider to be too much of the Māori language and we live in a country where people get all hot and bothered about New Zealand being called Aotearoa.
And where people talk a whole load of nonsense about boycotting Whittaker's chocolate because Whittaker's has got the nerve to print a bit of te reo on the wrapper of one of its chocolate bars.
