This page needs references for its conclusion. Otherwise, it sounds like they were just plucked out of thin air.GeorgeLouis 05:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

One big problem of this request is that the usage is real, but it is understood only intrinsically in New Zealand. Outside the country it is not used. In New Zealand there has been very few serious attempts to write down and define what South Auckland because it is perceived it will only need to be done in order to explain the term to someone from overseas and "no one from outside NZ will be using it, and since New Zealanders already know the term through family upbringing, so why bother". Any attempts to write down this usage, as at 2006, will thus have largely no written sources to serve as research references. --JNZ 07:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC) with further edits on --JNZ 21:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC) to clarify meaning

I would just like to say that Onehunga and Penrose are part of South Central Auckland and not 'South Auckland'. South Auckland starts from Mangere Bridge.

[edit] Absolutely

Yes thats correct South Auckland does not include Penrose and Mount Wellington, the correct changes have been made. Although South Auckland does include he suburb 'Onehunga'. --HannahSamuels 05:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
