No, this is not a photo of the entrance door to a loo in a Jacinda government department where you would expect it, but in McDonalds, Johnsonville, a pic by Andi Cockcroft.
The top line says “Disabled toilet”, the second “Bi-gender” and the bottom next to the handle “pull”.
Those little pictograms next to the door handle might explain that, but why no English next to the Maori words? What is the purpose of this Wokeism? To get favours from Jacinda government departments, or perhaps the result of a deal done with them? We wonder how many people are going to recognise what these words mean. There are many Maori who know some words of Te Reo, but are a long way from being fluent in it. What about tourists?
There will be many more going to think ‘you won’t recognise my mother tongue [English] so Stuff you, I won’t give you any more of my business.’
Of course, there are plenty who think — why go to McDonalds anyway, you get better value for money elsewhere. This will only reinforce that feeling.

There is only one worthwhile culture in New Zealand according to our so-called representative government.
Your Celtic culture does not exist.”

If these corporate woke turds are that keen on wooden age lingo why are all the non healthy products they purvay in Celtic?

Which one is the Maori word for ‘door’?
Waikanae watchers said:
none of them — door is ‘tatau’

Simple solution! Is do not shop at MacDonalds and Bunnings until they take down the Racist signs. We are an English-speaking country! Period
Waikanae watchers said:
Have you written to them to tell them that?
1936horse said:
I don’t shop at Bunnings because of the same issue. Maori signage everywhere. If everyone stopped shopping at those stores, then a decline in foot traffic tells the story to their income. Same as I do not watch any woke Maori on TV1, TV2 or any other channel Switch channels and that spells the same for their viewing ratings.
Waikanae watchers said:
We don’t shop at Bunnings because of the way it treated workers at its Waikanae branch just before Christmas 2019 (see our post at the time), it’s Australian owned and sells a lot of inferior crap.
