@VeronicaLake23 It's not even an official language in England. Because even the English know it's an absurd waste of time and money when there are more important issues to tackle.
11k signatures in 4 years isn't a mandate to spend apparently precious taxpayers dollars on a language that's not in danger here or anywhere else on 🌎 except in some people's minds
@mark_smitheram Doesn't work like that Mark. Nothing is free. Public servants and policy makers time costs money. As does the time of the lawyers and law makers. The government will need to consult on their law change that a minuscule number of NZers voted for, fewer signed a petition for.
When English isn't even an official language in ... England but virtue signaling white supremacists want to save it in New Zealand. And taxpayers are about to pay for the resources to do so. Welcome to New Trumpland.
@NZMorningReport please ask some tough questions of the new Minister who has no idea, just ideology and vindictiveness. What will happen to the new unified nursing curriculum across Te Pukenga? Or IT?Going back to competition and fragmentation will be a disaster for polytechs.
