How many can you figure out? or even say?
I have written an email to ask one agency this question..
WHY???
WHY?
Is the website name in large print Waka Kotahi and now being used instead of NZ Transport Agency which is printed in small print??? When you rebrand a major Government agency I am guessing you spend a lot more on all the changes. This means you will raise all fines and fees to cover the costs of the many changes. And if any Maori comes to you and writes or speaks the native language you will need to employ a lot more Maori. Not only counter staff but security as well.
How will I look up your number in the phone book? Is it under W for Waka or N for NZ?
Now I am worried how people of Otautahi will find the City Council website since it is still in the old name?
