DragonMaci Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's not too late to stop Labour's validation. Yes the law passed through parliament, but it still needs Royal Assent from the Governor General. There is a petition to get him not to give Royal Assent. I implore that all Kiwis sign it. It is at: http://www.petitiononline.com/nzgg/petition.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) Well I "Signed" that thing. Last I checked it had a good number of signatures, about 13000 odd. And it is very early days yet. However of course, there is the possibility that alot of people might be signing this again and again, I do not know what sort of controls on this that site has in place (ie not letting the same IP Address resubmit a "signature"). It does send a validation email, implying it might have some sort of control on this, however as it seems that if you refresh the page (or the page where you view how many signatures have been sent) it resends a validation email...I have to wonder. I also question whether the Governor General will pay much attention to this no matter how many people sign it, however it is certaintly worth a shot.

Well when I refresh I don't get that so I think it was just a rare error you encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well when I refresh I don't get that so I think it was just a rare error you encountered. yes, but lets hope it does not happen to other people, or it misrepresents facts. However I suspect that most of those are genuine signatures, I am sure that at least that much of a minority are fed up with Labour. But we still need alot more.
