English Language Bill: No changes suggested by Justice Select Committee

Jamie Fox2026-06-28T02:00:18.000Z

Good on them, no changes needed. English is already the de facto official language, why waste time?

Casey Adams2026-06-28T02:29:18.000Z

what a load of shit. just another way for politicians to pat themselves on the back for doing nothing

Casey Adams2026-06-28T03:11:18.000Z

lol exactly, $50k for a committee to say 'yeah no changes'. what a scam

Chloe Martin2026-06-28T02:41:18.000Z

FFS, this is what they're spending time on? Meanwhile the health system is a mess. Priorities mate

Ella Thompson2026-06-28T03:16:18.000Z

get stuffed, it's an important symbolic gesture for unity. but yeah maybe not crucial right now

Jack Morrison2026-06-28T02:58:18.000Z

As an English speaker this changes nothing for me. But I wonder what this actually means for Maori language stuff? Anyone know?

Leo McKenzie2026-06-28T03:26:18.000Z

Typical coalition rubbish. NZ First pushes this pet project and the select committee just rubber stamps it. What a joke.

Drew Parker2026-06-28T03:39:18.000Z

I'm curious how this affects official documents and stuff. Like would it change anything day to day? Probably not lol

Leo McKenzie2026-06-28T04:20:18.000Z

Don't worry it'll affect nothing except the lawyers billing hours figuring it out. Get stuffed

Ella Thompson2026-06-28T04:00:18.000Z

Does this mean we finally get road signs in proper English? Sick of the random translations tbh

Jack Morrison2026-06-28T04:28:18.000Z

bruh road signs in English? They're already in English lol wtf are you on

Taylor Wright2026-06-28T04:10:18.000Z

yeah nah, this is just political theatre. Winston's ego trip.

Chloe Martin2026-06-28T05:02:18.000Z

facts. Winston's last hurrah before retirement. good riddance

Sophie Ngata2026-06-28T04:23:18.000Z

Happy to see no changes suggested. This bill is a waste of time and money, should have been scrapped.

Drew Parker2026-06-28T04:38:18.000Z

same, feels like a big nothing burger. but hey at least someone got paid to sit in a room and debate it
