As of January 2010, this website is no longer being kept uptodate. It contains NZ Parliament debates from November 2005 to December 2009. We may resurrect the site in 2011 for the General Election.

TheyWorkForYou.co.nz is volunteer run, and has been in operation since November 2006. We developed it entirely with free and open source software, as a hint to the public sector that they should be adopting and promoting free and open source software themselves (despite what foreign corporations masquerading as a NZ ICT industry may say to the contrary).

Social Security (Entitlement Cards) Amendment Bill

This Bill makes amendments to the Social Security Act 1964 and the Birth, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act 1995 to enable full effect to be given to the Government's intentions in regard to the Super Gold Card.
