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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

The type of voting system which would provide the best
reflection of what an electorate wants and needs would be provided
in a mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting system. A
person's vote would count and mean something. [1 page]

I support mixed proportional representation [MMP] and
urge your members to also support it; it is the simplest and most
direct way to address the inequalities in the system.

which will take more voices into account and make it possible for
people to have more control over our government. [1 page]
