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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

We have to change the system to get the next generation involved in
governance. The current system has failed, youth see it as a waste
of time. We have to lead the country and bring in proportional
representation [PR]. [1 page]

My views on this subject are pretty clear. The present system
needs to be improved and some form of
MMP seems to be the best way. I would set
the threshold for party representation at 5%. [1 page]

There are three endemically malevolent aspects of any electoral
process built around electioneering. They are: the roles of money,
good intentions, and power. Make governance a selection
process akin to jury duty -- random selection. [5 pages]
