The Kia Ora Incident The Kia Ora Incident The Kia Ora Incident is an incident that took place in 1984, at a time when the use of Māori phrases was uncommon in New Zealand. An Auckland telephone operator, Naida Glavish, was instructed to stop using ""kia ora"" when greeting callers after the post office had received a complaint. She refused to do so and was consequently stood down, with the whole affair attracting much public interest. The Postmaster-General, Rob Talbot, convinced the Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon, to overturn that prohibition. This event is considered key in the movement to revitalise Te Reo Maori. A
Anywhere (Rita Ora song) song is written in the key of B minor and follows the chord progression of Em–A–D–Bm in the first chorus. As interpreted by the singer, "Anywhere" is a love song about escapism and "having a desperation of wanting to break free from whatever it is you're going through." Ora also felt the song's message of breaking free was relevant to what British citizens have experienced in 2017. Andrew R. Chow of "The New York Times" wrote that the lyrics are driven by wanderlust. Due to the processed vocal loops, the second chorus is lyrically inaudible and has no meaning. Ora
