Citizens Initiated Referenda
Précis
of Initiative and Referendum Proposal
We present the précis of our concept of a reasonable and
practical application of Citizens Initiated Referenda.
We do so as a non-aligned and non-party political lobby group with a genuine desire for
constructive and non-emotional discussion. We take pride in the fact that since our
inception in 1988, we have retained our philosophical and political autonomy, and through
that, our credibility.
Our concept of Citizens Initiated Referenda has met with the approval and support from
both sides of the political fence in most instances. Academics have found it refreshing,
and people of common sense have supported it.
Generally, we have found that those with a genuine interest in improving our system of
Government at at both levels of (State/Federal) Government and local Authorities (Regional Councils), and those who wish to see an enhancement of
our democratic process, have welcomed our proposal as practical, feasible and desirable.
Naturally, the concept of this proposal applies to at both levels of (State/Federal)Government and local Authorities (Regional Councils). The
system is the same in each case, but the terminology would change accordingly.
We present this paper to you, hoping that you will view our proposal with an open mind,
and in an atmosphere which will encourage sincere and genuine discussion.
