Participation
is invited
in DecisionMaker 2013 with its focus on "How central
government works locally". The concept, to put local government
reform in context, is now being
updated on this site.
The out-of-print DecisionMaker Guide to Parliament and Government
2006 edition for New Zealand, was released on CD with
new features in the second quarter 2006. It and the 2003 book edition
are out of print, and pledges are now coming in, supporting further
web and print editions.
Briefings to Key ministers at www.beehive.govt.nz

by the government, to be a valuable contribution for those who wish
to take a whole of government perspective from their silo standpoint.
The will, and the information technology, makes this possible.
