Why shouldn't the kiwi continue to be our national symbol?

While the kiwi is a beloved national symbol of New Zealand, some argue that it may not fully represent the diversity of the country's culture and people. As a flightless bird, it symbolizes a unique aspect of New Zealand's wildlife, but it might not resonate with the dynamic and modern identity of New Zealanders today. Additionally, relying on a single symbol can limit the recognition of other significant cultural icons and values that contribute to the nation's identity. Embracing a broader range of symbols could foster inclusivity and reflect the multifaceted nature of New Zealand society.
