i was afraid luxon would be weak in regards to this te rao taking over the airwaves, and is not getting the message the majority of new zealanders have had a gut full, and are angry, together with the other activities, eg 3 waters, he puapua etc, the country is divided. the fact he wants to call our country new zealand when overseas and then this aotearoa nz when inside the country is just cowtowing to the woke, the activists, and 1/8 th maori that are bitter and twisted having 7/8th european ancestory that is dismissed.
