New Zealand is planning to introduce a new law that demands bureaucrats, government officials, and others use less jargon and write in a simpler, more comprehensible form of English for the public.
The Plain Language Bill mandates that the language used by bureaucrats and government officials be “clear, concise, well-organised and audience-appropriate”. The bill had passed its second reading in the past few weeks but needs to face a final vote before becoming law, reported The Guardian.
