One of the Supermarket surveys I was doing today has a choice where I choose Most Important or Least Important for a nimber of categories.
One of these was Signage on the shelves inTeo Maori.
As I get older and my sight and hearing and mobility get worse, I would like several guides.... One to tell me what is on the shelf. Or one to tell me by sign language. Or another to lead me to whatever I need. Or another to translate the Te Reo signage to English. I did already notice a mobility shoping vehicle at Countdown in the Palms, but if my eyesight gets worse I may need a driver for this. But the Supermarkets have already solved these problems with Shop Online so I just need a Braille keyboard......Do they have these at the blind forndation? I already inquired about sonar glasses when I was a support worker with a disabled blind person in my care. They did not seem to know what these are?? What a wonderful world this is going to be in the future. Especially if Supermarkets twice as large with shelves that can have touch buttons say with speakers that will have six or more languages to tell people what and and how much everything is. Oh that and signage in at least six languages as well as braille!!!!

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?
