Status of English[edit]

New Zealand has only two official languages, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language. English is of course the lingua franca and the defacto mainstream language, but it has not been designated an official language by Act of Parliament as the others have. I'm not sure how to clarify this. In the meantime, I've taken out reference to its official status (and that of Māori).--Hugh7 (talk) 01:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typos[edit]

In the phrase "covert the local area into intensive dairy", is the term "covert" some sort of jargon for land management, or merely a typo for "convert"? (The spelling is as it appears in the cited source.) Martin Kealey (talk) 09:52, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a typo, I think. Thanks for fixing it. Aridd (talk) 21:38, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
