A petition has been started calling for the resignation of a controversial New Plymouth councillor who posted on social media that he's 'ashamed' of singing the te reo version of the national anthem. Murray Chong, who has previously described te reo as a dying language, has also been officially censured by the New Plymouth Mayor Neil Holdom.
