When does a colloquial term become a non-colloquial? Usage by government/official contexts?

In August 2022, Minister of Immigration Michael Wood referred to 85,000 holders of recently approved New Zealand 2021 resident visas as "new Kiwis".

Human languages: the words are made up and the rules don't matter.

Especially true for English.

At least we don't use the Roman method of varied hour lengths depending in the time of day and times of year.

I'm not on desktop so can't inspect to see the img src.

But it's possible for a url in img src to have a different response (ie, html) when it's a direct navigation (ie new tab).

Presumably to disable that hot linking from other websites/apps. Especially if they use scrapers.

But yeah, bad ux.

It's electioneering in that it is to create damage control ahead of dropping or delaying any promised reward to those that voted for the income tax cut.

It can allow them to defer until they claim that NZ is not fragile, which would probably be as a re-election campaign: vote for us because WE fixed a fragile economy, let's keep the momentum so that we can let people keep more of their hard earned income.

I don't have an example, but I would like to see a rotary phone dial ui as input method for a phone number.

Edit: I see there's mentions and a gif in another comment.
