Thanks for the correction - my comment was motivated by appearances from the outside, apologies. I have no idea what the Māori equivalent of "Prime Minister" or "Deputy Prime Minister" would be, but from what I know of NZ, I do think the cries of outrage would be deafening if they went with local versions like Ireland has with Taioseach and Tánaiste.
