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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 the Mixed Proportional Representation [MMP] method of
voting is the most democratic option. It also is the most practical
and therefore will appeal to the majority of voters. [1 page]

I am all in favour of a system of proportional representation
[PR]. Our country is becoming more diverse, and these
diverse interests should be adequately represented by our system of
politics. [1 page]

I am disturbed by recent election results of
dramatic under representation of elected
representatives as based on voter choices. I would far
prefer to see some system of Mixed Proportional Representation
[MMP] in future elections. [1 page]
