In this edition of the newspaper we are promoting our Citizens Initiated Referendum to restore Crown ownership of New Zealand's foreshore and seabed.
Could we please make this appeal to all of your readers to sign the petition and send it in to us?
Running a CIR is extremely difficult as the 320,000 signatures that are needed is an enormous hurdle.
But if everyone who reads our ad responds, we would have a very good chance of success.
Thank you very much for your help – and thanks to your readers too for their support.

Dr Muriel Newman, CIR Petitioner, Whangarei.
