Dominion Day as a holiday

The NZ Herald editorial is against Dominion Day (today) becoming New Zealand Day. Richard Long is all for it, but Colin James is unconvinced.

I have long held the view that we need both a Waitangi Day and New Zealand Day.  One shouldn’t see it as a choice between the two.

Colin has a point that Dominion Day may not be the best choice for a new New Zealand Day, and I’m very open minded on it being say the anniversary of the Statute of Westminster in November.
