SUBMISSIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Members of the public sent to the Assembly a total of
1,603 public submissions during the 13 months ended 27
September 2004. And you can access them all lower down on this
page.
Incidentally, the numbers on the submissions appear to show that
there are 1,669 of them. After allowing for blanks, duplications
and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who
sent them, the real total is 1,603. Unfortunately, we cannot
renumber the submissions to reflect that.
If a posted submission is dated after 27 September, that date
refers to the date the submission was processed and posted to the
website, not the date it was received.

I believe that the adoption of some form of proportional
representation [PR] is the best way to create a truly
representative legislature & to inspire new,
creative approaches to the many challenges that we as a society
face today. [1 page]

No voting system will correct all the problems in our democratic
process; ultimately people will have to make the system functional
by thier own direction and involvement. MMP will make
this public input and direction easier. [1 page]
