Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill Submission - New Zealand Parliament In the 54th New Zealand Parliament there are 6 parliamentary parties represented by 123 MPs. These MPs represent 65 general electorate seats and 7 Mฤori electorates. The other 51 MPs are selected from the party lists.

If you felt moved to attend the hikoi - but have not yet had a moment to submit on the Treaty Principles Bill โ€ฆ todayโ€™s the last day!
You donโ€™t have to write lengthy submissions - mine was short because while I care deeply Iโ€™m not an expert here, and thatโ€™s fine.
Use this link. Please.

Hi! We're Dinosaur Polo Club, based in New Zealand. We make Mini Metro & Mini Motorways.

The news is bad. The layoffs in the game industry are bad. Old platforms collapsing is bad. The best we can offer in these ridiculous times is a job, but it's a cool job at least. Come make indie games with us?

Honestly really proud of the Wellingtonians respecting this one this morning. People came down to take a picture and marvel at the creature for a minute or so, then went on with their day ๐Ÿฅน
