Name referendum

Virginia Fallon (Sept 22) suggests a referendum to change (or not) our country’s name to Aotearoa, Land of the Long White Cloud, a beautiful and fitting name.

What shall we call ourselves, however? Aotearoans? New Zealanders so both names are preserved? Kiwis?

This week at a 1pm briefing, the prime minister said: ‘‘It isn’t the Aotearoa way to leave anybody behind.’’ Sounds good.
