@n1uk West Germans and East Germans are both germans in their own lands that were separated by the aliied forces. The British empire allowed white settlers on foreign land.
Actually English isn't one of New Zealand's official languages. Only Maori and NZ sign language are legally the official languages. A few years back someone in parliament tried to make English an official language but it wasn't passed into law.
This anthem is emotional, for some it may be just any national anthem, but for me it represents the unity between the native peoples and the European settlers of New Zealand. I almost don't have the words to describe this anthem, I just know that I almost cried listening to this anthem, because they respect native peoples and they have equal rights, I wanted all countries to be like that. 😭😊🇳🇿💙
This is the first time i listen to the national anthem of New Zealand, it's beautiful and (smile) a little bit of goosebump, greetings from Indonesia- your neighbor from the north :)
This is one of the most beautiful hymns I've ever heard. New Zealand is an incredible country. I hope I can travel to visit it one day Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yeah... its probably Bullshit... but it is definitely suspicious... fuck knows what Jacinda Ardern did/has done but it's very very suspicious especially since she seems to be very pally with Xi Jinping and his china. 😟😟😟😞😞😞
@Cairo Mitchell-Acason She had a huge mess to clean up from the beginning thanks to years under the Nats. They also sold much of our long-paid-for state housing! Not long after coming into parliament they had one crisis after another...she has done FAR more than the Nats would have done for us and has remained kind and graceful the whole way through. Our housing crisis started years ago, the Nats ignored it, at least she is trying to do something!
Absolutely beautiful. I had the honour of living in New Zealand for two years and had the pleasure of exploring it's stunning natural beauty and getting to know some of the most genuine people I have ever met. Much love, from Canada.

SPEAKING ON 16TH JANUARY 2023... Sadly now, the national anthem of New Zealand called ''God Defend New Zealand'' all written in feminine was no longer with us. We have lost Her Majesty's Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. She died at the age of 96. In fact, this is ''God Defend New Zealand'' in masculine. A new King in the UK, a new reigning monarch, a new era of royal family members and a new head of the Commonwealth. King Charles III. There are 56 countries of the Commonwealth.
