A bill which would force all government departments and Crown agencies to use clear, concise language passed its second reading in parliament today.
If it becomes law there would be designated plain language officers throughout the public service to ensure the use of plain language in all official government documents and on websites.
The opposition has slammed it as stupid and creating a language police.
But Nelson MP Rachel Boyack who is behind the Bill tells Karyn she's determined to get rid of the goobledygook.
