Sir Geoffrey Palmer and Dr Andrew Butler propose that New Zealand should have a written constitution. If you're in Dunedin this Wednesday night, come along to the Museum and hear why.
As has been noted previously on this blog, Sir Geoffrey Palmer and Dr Andrew Butler have published a book advocating that New Zealand enact a “written” constitution. They have also set up a Twitter account and a website to both promote the book and seek out comments, which they say in the book’s description “will be reflected in a second edition to be published in 2017.”
As a part of their indefatigable efforts to advance their vision, they're visiting Dunedin this Wednesday (November 30th). Whilst here, they'll be holding a public "conversation" about their proposal, which your humble author will facilitate. So allow me to take this opportunity to invite those Pundit readers in Dunedin or its environs to come along and participate!
