We have seen reprioritisation of signage and then we have bills of the English language being an official language, when it is already an official language from the Ministry of Justice. This English Language Bill doesn’t actually lower anyone’s power bill. Dr VANESSA WEENINK (National—Banks Peninsula) (21:24): I rise to also speak in support of this English Language Bill. A party vote was called for on the question, That the English Language Bill be now read a second time.
