I'm 50 this coming birthday, had little Te Reo at small white town NZ schools, lived in the UK for 1/3 of my adult life, and would have little issue with that as my street address

I'd wager a very big chunk of the population would misspell it though.

with the eye's on it in the media and people like you getting upset over it - I doubt it, unless you/they are deliberately being obtuse

That is a spectacularly out of touch comment to be honest, not everyone spends hours reading the news and arguing about it with strangers on the Internet, you know.

oh my god - just give up. Its not that hard a name to spell when we have places like Foveaux Strait, Balmacewen, Corstorphine just to name a few non Te Reo name that are 'hard to spell' or are a 'mouthful'

Those are also a mouthful, and are probably a hassle for the people that live there. I don't see how that makes creating a headache for these people acceptable?

How is using our only codified written language a headache - really?
