Opinion

Re: Signs should be te reo first, December 9.
Normally I do not get upset reading opinion letters, but this time I feel a writer has lost her marbles.
Why make te reo Maori words dominant on street signs?
Tourists need to know very easily where they are going in a foreign land
— it is very important for our place. Safety messages must be in clear English, nothing else.
