@jfluk

why should it be? New Zealanders are our brothers and sisters, New Zealand and Australia have much more in common than any other two countries in the world.

Why is it all through primary, intermediate and college it was spelt 'E Ihoa' and now I come on here and its 'E Ihowa'? No biggie lol.

Beautiful song sung by an absolutely beautiful woman, though I know not a lick of the Maori language.

I believe this video was created as a teaching tool. I can't believe that some people are actually posting comments as if it's a competition. She sounds perfect and sings it clearly so that everyone can learn. Malo Lava!
