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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

The current electoral system system denies effective democracy,
resulting in a large unrepresented populace with the additional
effect of low voter turn-out and disenfranchised people. I urge the
Assembly to recommend the MMP system. [1 page]

Any electoral changes which allow parties to appoint
representatives based on a percentage of the popular vote will
re-enforce the major weakness of the existing system. Voters must
vote for individuals who should represent them. [1 page]
