At the conclusion of a public request for
proposals and selection process, the Office of the Clerk of the House of
Representatives has appointed Oratia Media to publish the fourth edition of the
authoritative guide to the conduct of our Parliament – Parliamentary Practice in New Zealand.
West Auckland-based Oratia Media will publish
the book as a high-quality paperback and an ebook, with a provisional
publication date of August 2016.
Parliamentary Practice in New Zealand
provides a detailed description of New Zealand’s parliamentary practice. It is
an authoritative text for use by members of Parliament, public servants,
academics, parliamentary officers and other working professionals who have an
interest in Parliament, such as the legal profession.
David Wilson, Clerk of the House of
Representatives, commented: “We’re really excited to be working with Oratia to
produce a new edition of a much-used text. Producing an ebook will be a first
for our Parliament and will hopefully widen its readership even further.”
Peter Dowling, Managing Director of Oratia
Media, welcomed the agreement to publish Parliamentary
Practice in New Zealand. “We’ve brought together an experienced team in
Auckland, Wellington and Oamaru to edit and design this significant work, and
look forward to a close relationship with the Office of the Clerk of the House
of Representatives.”
Further information about the book will be
released closer to the publication date.
Provisional Publication Date: August 2016
