500 _a"The first part of this book is a dictionary of over 700 fashionable words, terms and phrases that now have new, often coded, meanings... the second part of the book provides translations of actual documents, notices and proclamations! Simultaneously entertaining and scary, this book is a must-read for all New Zealanders who want to understand the language of government and those who cater to it."--Back cover.
