I received a good New Year present from the Dominion Post when they published my
opinion piece on the Head of State Referenda Bill
under the title “Hands up for a president of Aotearoa”. The same piece had earlier been published in the Christchurch Press.
This has kicked off the debate I had hoped around my
Head of State private members bill
, to be debated in Parliament this year, which enables Kiwis to choose between keeping the monarch or moving towards a democratically selected head of state.
The
discussion on Kiwiblog
has been particularly hot.
I am currently gathering a list of endorsers of the Bill. If you’d like to help, want to help, please
email me
or
become a supporter on facebook
.
If you are interested in getting the bill passed at its first reading, please
contact your local MP
or
write to all MPs
and tell them why.
