Get the facts and then get active

It's our turn to shout has produced a new set of fact sheets to help you understand current law reform issues as we see them, and to help you:

  • make a submission to the Select Committee
  • influence local politicians
  • motivate and inform your community.

The fact sheets are chock full of simple information and evidence that make it clear what the problems are with our current laws and what we believe the Government and individuals should do now.

Each one focuses on a single issue and summarises what the Government's response has been on that issue. It then gives that response a grade. The fact sheets are in plain English, and we've kept them short and to-the-point:

  1. Background
  2. Alcohol Pricing
  3. Alcohol Marketing
  4. Alcohol in your Community
  5. Drink Driving
  6. Social Supply

Access all the fact sheets here.

Please feel free to download and share this information. Use as much of it as you like in your submission to the Select Committee, or in your local lobbying.

If you'd like more help making a submission, or just want a second opinion on what you have produced, contact either:

Submissions close on 18 February 2010. Send these by post to Secretariat Justice and Electoral Committee, Select Committee Buildings, Wellington 6011 or submit online at www.parliament.govt.nz.
