Letters To Parliament
Letters to politicians are a another place to start. Although each individual letter may have a limited impact, a steady stream of polite but sincere letters will give a clear indication as to the level of public awareness and concern.
The first person to write to is David Cunliffe, the Minister of Immigration
You can email him at dcunliffe@ministers.govt.nz or write to him at:
Hon. David Cunliffe
Immigration Minister
Parliament Buildings
Wellington
New Zealand
If you post the letter from within NZ, then no stamp is needed.
You can also write to the Prime Minister (and minister for the NZ Security Intelligence Service), Helen Clark:
Rt Hon Helen Clark
Prime Minister
Parliament Buildings
Wellington
NEW ZEALAND
If you live in NZ, you can also write to your local MP (regardless of party). A list of MPs and contact details can be found here.
Letters to Papers and Magazines
Write to your local newspaper or magazine's editor or letters section. The key issue is freedom or fair trial – writing a response to an article on the case is a good idea.
