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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 wish to reinforce the Council's view that the fairest option
is MMP since it balances pro rep with regional representation and
provides the greatest likelihood that each vote will find
representation in the legislature. [1 page]

First past the post election wins are no longer
working. Some form of preferential

[AV] appears to work well. [1 page]
