27803 (2023). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Does the Minister agree with National Party MP Simeon Brown when he said in reference to road signs that contain Te Reo ‘We all speak English, and they should be in English... it's going to be confusing if you add more words,’ and if so, has the Minister taken any action in regards to Te Reo Māori on road signage?

Hon Simeon Brown: The future of road signage is not a priority for me as my current focus is on delivering on the commitments set out in our 100-day plan.
