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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

CUFF-0793

The mixed member proportional [MMP] system is much simpler and easier to explain than STV and I think voters will go for this kind of system. It works in New Zealand and it will work here. [1 page]

CULLEN-1413

I feel strongly that MMP as proposed by Adriane Carr would address the issue of people wanting their vote to count for something. It would also give more balanced representation of people's political choices in parliament. [1 page]

Voters will elect one, two or three representatives from a district based on the percentage of the votes cast.  Legislation is passed only if the members supporting it represent a majority of electors in the province. [2 pages]

CUNNINGHAM-0259

Our politicians need to be good communicators and excellent listeners but, most importantly, they need to be learners and to hear and absorb diverse perspectives.  We need to select representatives who evidence these qualities. [3 pages]

CUNNINGHAM-1273

If we want to call ourselves a democracy, than minority interests need representation too, and currently, they can not get it by voting. Please vote for change. [1 page]
