From Clare Curran (@clarecurranmp), Dunedin South Labour MP and "open government advocate":
I realise that you may not be able to attend this event. If you can't I hope you will participate in some way from afar and details on the live streaming will be announced soon. But I do ask that you circulate details of the OpenLabourNZ event to as many people as possible in your networks inside and outside NZ. This is a genuine attempt to develop a policy for a political party in an open way.
And if you believe in the principles of open government I hope you'll support, critique and even help, with advice and suggestions.
You don't have to support Labour or consider yourself political. It's about strengthening our democracy and opening up.

Doing things differently: OpenLabourNZ
New Zealand has consistently been a world leader in the development of democracy. Based around Labour’s long-held principles of fairness and decency for all New Zealanders.We are committed to a culture of openness and transparency which strengthens our democracy. A culture of participation, open dialogue, active engagement. That’s what OpenLabourNZ is all about.
If you want to participate in helping develop Labour first attempt to open up its policy development process up to the general public then register to attend.
