You've been doing a whole lot of good work on Legal aid in New Zealand, which is excellent. I'd also encourage you to branch out into other articles; if legal history is your cup of tea, you may be interested in Category:New_Zealand_lawyers whose articles are in varying states of completeness.

Thank you. I've enjoyed plodding through the relevant legislation, although it seems I find statute I didn't know existed most days! Okay, I will try and finish off the bits and pieces I have been working on for the legal aid page then I will definitely look into which other articles might be good to look at too.

As you may know,
VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to
your preferences and choosing the item, "
MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at
Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you,

I moved your NZG cite in the Judith Collins article from the infobox and into the main article.
It was a great first attempt/early attempt, I took a little while to get it right (as I'm not a lawyer or law student). The format is set by the NZ Law Society, their style guide entry for gazette citations and Hansard NZ are useful. You can link to NZPD although it redirects as there isn't a specific page yet.
Cheers!
