Summary
"Former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer believes New Zealand's system of government is in urgent need of reform. He says "Public cynicism and mistrust have reached levels which are dangerous for the future of democracy." ... he sets out the changes needed to improve New Zealand's system of government. Palmer covers a wide range of the most significant and contentious political and constitutional issues of the day. They include: reform of Parliament, rights, freedoms and the Bill of Rights, Maori issues, the office of the Prime Minister, the electoral system, the media, public law. The result is a far reaching and important analysis of both the way New Zealand is governed, and how that system of government should be altered ..." -- Back cover.
