Submit!

The Auckland Governance Committee has called for submissions on the Local Government (Auckland Council) Bill. Two copies, by Friday, 26 June 2009, to:

Auckland Governance Committee Secretariat
Parliament Buildings
Wellington

The bill contains the details of the government's Auckland Supercity, including its plans for at-large election, no Maori seats and powerless community boards. Submitting on it is vital if we want those things to change.

Making a submission is as easy as writing a letter saying that you support or oppose the bill and stating the reasons why. If you need help, the Office of the Clerk has a handy guide here [PDF].
