Direct Democracy Presentation at Waikato


Just recently I was asked by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (Professor Dan Zirker) at Waikato University to give a two hour presentation to a group of Honors and Ph.D students.

I gave the presentation yesterday (5th May)and really enjoyed the experience. There was lots of interesting debate and I felt they came away understanding another perspective of what Direct Democracy, Initiatives and Referendums were all about.

It was an honor to have been asked and also pleasing that a university felt it was important enough for their students to become informed on the subject.
