| 1399396 | 2015-04-27 06:32:00 | A mate who is of some standing within the RSA got an E-Mail purported to be from one John Key. :confused: Now the E-Mail itself is only about him making a speech at Gallopi, which I guess we all knew anyway and there is nothing contentious in it, that I can see. However, the letter head has raised some discussion and the ire of my mate. What do you make of it? 6420 The E-Mail came from "newsletters@national.org.nz" which seems genuine, but not being aligned with them I wouldn’t know. So what is this “New Zealand no Aotearoa” all about and where was the photo taken? Don’t tell me someone has hacked their letterhead. Oh, and yes I’ve removed the recipients name and E-Mail address for obvious reasons. ;) |

| 1399397 | 2015-04-27 09:33:00 | Looks like the photo is of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. It says on the Tomb: An Unknown New Zealand Warrior He Toa Matangaro No Aotearoa Was there an attachment with the email? It looks legit to me, like a proper newsletter you can subscribe to. |

| 1399398 | 2015-04-27 09:54:00 | He Toa Matangaro No Aotearoa is Te Reo Māori for An Unknown New Zealand Warrior. Not the "No" you were thinking of BM. | John H (8) | ||
| 1399399 | 2015-04-27 10:58:00 | Quick - pass it on to Granny Herald, The Greens and the Labour Party. I'm sure they will be able to milk it for all they can. |

| 1399400 | 2015-04-27 20:21:00 | Thanks guy’s, I’ll pass the explanation on. :thumbs: Last I heard some of them were fixing bayonets. :D However, you do have to wonder why nobody picked up on the possible misinterpretation. I’m almost starting to feel sorry for John with the gaffe after gaffe he’s experiencing. He’s actually starting to make the Duke of Edinburgh look like a right amateur in this field. :lol: |

| 1399401 | 2015-04-28 02:23:00 | Some Māori 101: He - a(n)/some Toa - warrior Mata - face/eye, ngaro - lost, meaning unknown No - from Ao - world/cloud, tea - white/clear, roa - long, meaning New Zealand An unknown warrior from NZ. Well hoping my translation and meanings on par, only been learning te reo for a year now. Cheers, KK |

| 1399402 | 2015-04-28 06:33:00 | Of course the problem was these guys couldn’t read what else was there and thought that Key was angling at changing New Zealand’s name as well as the flag. Mind you, I’m not saying he’s not. :eek: |
