OPINION: A mate of the Hound's pointed him to a snippet in a recent newsletter from Wairarapa ram breeder Derek Daniel's Wairere Romney, which he found rather alarming.
According to the newsletter, under the Government's new 'plain language' legislation, every government department is going to have to employ a 'plain language commissioner' to ensure any information coming out of said government department is 'understandable' and that 'officials communicate clearly with the public as part of a bid to improve accessibility for all parts of society'.
Your old mate suggests this is a big ask, as how much information coming out of government is ever understandable?
So now we will see more layers of government bureaucracy in the form of plain language police running around looking over the shoulders of all the public servants, checking on their language?
The mind boggles.
