Summary → Official summary
[edit]Can the Infobox legislation template be changed to read "Official summary" instead of just "Summary"?
The reason I ask is that the summary provided in the draft bill is not an accurate representation of the contents and consequences of the proposed legislation. This view is not simply mine — academics and organizations have strongly criticized the mismatch between the way the bill is described and portrayed and its likely and highly damaging consequences. Also to note that I have just made a four page public submission to the Justice Select Committee and reviewed quite a lot of material in that process.

- An update: another editor removed that field altogether so the matter is essentially resolved. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 23:50, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
ResolvedPossible photograph
[edit]
The photograph on the right might be appropriate for this article. It was taken on Waitangi Day in 2024. I prefer not to add my own work to Wikipedia directly when editorial decisions may be involved. Best, RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 21:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Ordering
[edit]I added the following HTML note to the Reception section:
Note: this material predates the oral submissions being heard by the Select Committee.
I think it might be better to place the Oral submissions section below the the Reception section to maintain chronological ordering. But that would mean splitting up the Legislative history. Any thoughts? RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 20:26, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
