Some Australia Maori aren't happy about a show
set to be released in NZ
that will showcase Maori living on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
These Maori don't like the term Mozzie
and believe the show misrepresents them.
Life in Australia isn't that glamorous.
This is GC the new show ruffling Maori feathers.
I don't agree with the show
it belittles the integrity of the Maori people.
Jo grew up in Australia and her roots are planted there.
Raana just moved there last year.
I don't agree with the English term, we should just be called Maori.
The show GC is likened to Jersey Shore,
however the people are Maori, young, good looking and talented.
I sent the producer of GC, Bailey Mackey an email,
he said he had no comment
but says the programme isn't like Jersey Shore.
It won't be shown in Australia at the this time
but Maori there still have concerns.
The show starts on TV3 soon.
