Description

Text at the start of six frames says 'Wanganui Alp abet'. Each of the six frames shows a sign in which an 'h' has been left out of a word. Refers to the continuing battle over whether the town of Wanganui should be spelled with an 'h' like the river 'Whanganui'. Mayor Michael Laws has dismissed the view of the Maori Language Commission, which has come out in support of an application to change the name of Wanganui city and district [to Whanganui].. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
