In June 2019 a report ‘Foresight, insight and oversight: Enhancing long-term
governance through better parliamentary scrutiny’ was released (you can find the link for this report below). This report identifies some key concerns with New Zealand’s parliamentary processes and suggests options for reform. You should identify one reform in the report that you wish to critically
evaluate.
In your essay, you should explore the relative strengths and weaknesses of this reform, drawing on other material, including academic peer-reviewed sources, to make your argument. Your essay should have a thesis – in other words, you should be making a case for either adopting the reform or rejecting it (or, perhaps, revising it to address weaknesses you identify). In making your case, you should present arguments both for and against the reform.
