Decision Maker

DecisionMaker Guides cover the whole of government – and parts of the whole. The DecisionMaker Guide to Parliament and Government 2003 ties together the structure of New Zealand's Parliament, government and legal system, how they work, and how they interrelate. A useful resource for anyone who wishes to understand New Zealand's Parliamentary system, it includes worksheets and notes specifically intended for use in schools.
