Our HouseA House of Representatives should, ideally, be just that. It should be a place in which all strands of society can have their voices heard, and in which a common purpose is forged. Domestic and international political ideas influence the approach of New Zealand’s House of Representatives. How Parliament works contains briefings on how New Zealand’s Parliament is elected, who its members are and what they do, how it operates, and how your voice can be heard within it. Most of these briefings come from the Parliamentary agencies themselves. As publisher of this guide, we aim to give you the knowledge
you need to ensure your voice is heard. |
