It's been a very interesting morning listening to and participating in discussions about direct democracy on Radio Rhema. If you have not had any correspondence from us in a long time it is because we now do all of our posts on Facebook which can be viewed from https://www.facebook.com/pages/Better-Democracy-NZ/302914482831 Please link in to our Facebook page and click the LIKE button to be kept informed as it has become too difficult and time consuming to update our regular blog. Contributors to the show included, myself as the Founder of better Democracy NZ, Larry Baldock (former MP and Kiwi Party leader), Margaret Robertson (past referendum initiator), Colin Craig (Leader of the NZ conservative Party), Phil Goff (Former Leader of the Labour Party), Winston Peters (MP and Leader of NZ First) and Professor Andrew Geddis (University Professor). I will list each interview so you can link through and listen if you wish. You might be interested to hear my Radio Rhema interview today about direct democracy. http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4309:steve-baron-on-binding-referendum&Itemid=16 http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4311%3Aphil-goff-asset-sales-referendum&Itemid=16 http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4313%3Acolin-craig-on-consulting-the-public&Itemid=16 http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4315%3Ahistory-and-effectiveness-of-referendums&Itemid=16 http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4310%3Alarry-baldock-smacking-referendum&Itemid=16 http://www.rhema.co.nz/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=4312%3Amargaret-robertson-the-1999-referendum&Itemid=16 The whole show went for several hours.
