A new national language recognition.

From the horses mouth.

I have nothing at all against the idea of spreading the use of sign language. It is a great thing. What surprised me about this was that there are 28,000 people using sign language and 7,000 who are deaf.

Therefore it seems logical to me that as Jim Anderton's Progressive party received 26,441 party votes in the last election, we should push to have Jim's language declared as a national language. This, over time, might give the rest of the country some idea of what the hell he is drivelling on about.
