Under section 7 of the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993, I give notice that I have received from Russell Opland a proposal to promote an indicative referendum petition.

The wording of the question proposed to be put to voters in an indicative referendum is:

“Should New Zealanders have an enforceable legal Right to Know how the government and businesses spend public money, use personal data, and make decisions that affect their lives?”

Comment is invited on this wording. Anyone wishing to comment must send three written copies to:

The Clerk of the House of Representatives, Parliament House, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.

By 5.00pm on Thursday, 21 May 2026.

Dated at Wellington this 16th day of April 2026.

Dr DAVID WILSON, Clerk of the House of Representatives.
