Discussion
The Plain Language Act was passed by which of the following countries recently which requires Government officials to use simple and easily understandable English language in official documents and websites?
Answer: C
The Act was passed by New Zealand.
New Zealand's Parliament passed the Plain Language Act in 2022. It requires public service agencies and Crown agents to use clear, concise and well-organised language, appropriate to the intended readers, in documents and on websites meant for the public.
Australia, Ireland and Germany have plain-language guidance but did not pass this Act. In Germany's case the official language is German, not English.
