Really, this is completely ridiculous. I don't see anyone complaining about positive Australia Day wishes and considering them exclusionary and offensive, even though they blatantly ignore the fact that Waitangi Day falls during the same fortnight and a sizeable minority of New Zealanders live in Australia. I'm sure every single day contains some significance in one culture if you look hard enough, but let's not take things to extremes, people. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging official public holidays without mentioning other important occasions that aren't official holidays.
Political correctness can be thoroughly annoying.
