I'm not fussed, as long as they still refer to the names of places as their usual names too. If someone used 'Naarm' I'd know they're referring to Melbourne, if they said 'Meanjin' I've got no idea as I'm not from QLD or familiar with indigenous names from other capital cities, this is the first time I've heard of it referring to Brisbane.
If suddenly parcels come back to me as failed deliveries because I didn't use it's indigenous name then id have a problem.
Who here knows it as 'Ayers Rock'? It's always been called Uluru in my lifetime and referred to by it's indigenous name. I'm obviously aware of Ayers Rock but you'd be hard pressed to find the last of the Millennials referring to it as 'Ayers Rock'.
It'll probably be known as and referred to as K'gari by Gen Alpha when they're looking at tourism destinations in 10-20 years.
