Submit!

The Law and Order Committee has called for submissions on the Summary Offences (Tagging and Graffiti Vandalism) Amendment Bill. Two copies, by Tuesday, 11 March 2008 to

Law and Order Committee Secretariat
Parliament Buildings
Wellington
Law and Order is a backwards committee, and does not accept electronic submissions.

Two weeks is an unusually short period for submissions, particularly on a bill whose BORA advice can charitably be described as inconsistent. But who cares about the BORA when there's pedophobia to be whipped up?

Making a submission is not difficult - it can be as simple as writing a letter saying "I support/oppose the bill" and giving reasons why. If you're not sure, check out the Clerk's online guide here.
