1) Immigration New Zealand

"Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages of New Zealand.
Nevertheless, English is the most widely spoken language in the country, with over 95% of the population using it in their everyday lives, compared with Māori (4.1%) and New Zealand Sign Language (0.5%)."

2) Human Rights Commission

"Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages of New Zealand.
Nevertheless, English is the most widely spoken language in the country, with over 95% of the population using it in their everyday lives, compared with Māori (4.1%) and New Zealand Sign Language (0.5%)."

Note: the petition asks that English be recognised as an official language of New Zealand alongside Maori & Sign Language.

We are not requesting any money or keeping it. Contributions to the website I believe allow it to reach a greater audience in the database.
