Newsflash - Submission Closure Date Extended!!!

Submission Books
We would like to thank all of those supporters who have already requested the option4 Submission booklets and gone out there to assist people to make their submission - great effort from you all! Keep up the good work. Every submission counts.

For those of you who have not yet requested submission books, we would encourage you to do so. Do not think that we expect you to fill up each submission book. Remember, if you were to assist 10 or 12 people to make their submission, this makes a difference.

To have 1 or more booklets mailed to you immediately please go here www.option4.co.nz/submission.htm

Get out to all the organisations and sports clubs to tell them what is going on and help their members to make their submissions. Persuade their management committees to put submission books where they are prominent and visible - on the bar counter and in the lobbies on a table. Get out there and make it happen. This is a fight for our fundamental human rights - do not drop the ball on this one.

 
Kiwi Expats
Thank you to all those expatriate Kiwis in Australia, UK, Europe, USA, South East Asia, Africa and the Middle East who have made submissions through the option4 website. We are really in your hands in terms of connecting with other expat Kiwis. Please, where you can, contact and connect with other expats and help them to make their submissions.

For those of you resident in NZ with family, friends and business colleagues living and working overseas, email them and encourage them to go to your website to make their submissions. Bring it on expats! You do not want to be coming back to retire in NZ to discover the unthinkable i.e. holding a weak right with a diminishing access to our fisheries. (Remember the TV add - "Granddad, what did you do to stop it?")
 

Bumper Stickers
Bumper stickers are also available to promote community awareness and to raise funds to sustain this initiative. You can order them from your website. https://www.option4.co.nz/Please_Help/order.htm
 

Keep up the good work!
Kind regards
option4
