Submissions open · closes from 10 June 2026

yeah, nah.

The government is rushing eight stink bills through Parliament. We'll help build your submission on every one - quicker than a coffee.

Phone works mint. Couch-friendly, about a minute a bill.

[ 01 - the tool ]

Pick your fights. We'll build the rest.

Select committees group identical submissions as one. Yeah Nah generates a different submission for every bill, with your name, your concerns, your words. They count separately.

stage 01 / 03 Pick your bills.

All eight are ticked by default. Tick the ones you want to act on today - one bill is plenty, all eight is incredible, your call.

Going for:
under 6 min for all 8 (still not a coffee)
stage 02 / 03 Who you are.

Used to personalise each submission and copy into the Parliament form. Stays in this browser tab. Close the tab and it's gone.

Parliament requires it. You'll copy it into each form yourself.

Same - Parliament asks. Never leaves this browser.

One or two sentences in your own words. Goes verbatim into every submission, phrased slightly differently each time. We never embellish or extrapolate - it's inserted exactly as you write it.

stage 03 / 03 Your angle on each one.

Tick the concerns that resonate per bill, and add anything specific you'd like to say about each one. Sorted by deadline.

~ 1 second. Each generation is unique.
Add your name + tick at least one bill, then we can roll.

Ka pai. Eight voices into the public record - every single one counts.

Make yours louder by sending Yeah Nah to one mate - your group chat, your mum, the friend who's always talking politics.

[ 02 - how it works ]

Three short stages. Quicker than a coffee.

[ 01 ]

One onboarding.

Your name, your address, your email - once. The same details flow into every submission.

[ 02 ]

Eight unique submissions.

Each bill gets personalised text - different intro, framing, concerns in different order. Select committees group identical submissions as one. Yours won't be.

[ 03 ]

Guided filing.

Copy the text or download as .docx / .pdf. Open the Parliament form. Paste or upload. Mark done. Onto the next.

No cookies. No accounts. No personal data leaves your browser.

Yeah Nah is one HTML file you can read in five seconds (view-source). Generate, copy, file, close the tab. None of what you typed exists anywhere after that. No backend stores your name, email, address or submission content.

We do count anonymous totals (sessions, submissions generated, completion clicks) to see how Yeah Nah is being used. No names, emails, IPs or submission content is stored at any time.

[ 03 - share ]

Make it yours. Post it everywhere.

Pre-made tiles, free for anyone to post from their own account. Add your reason in the caption - share the love and the impact - these bills are stink and we need everyone submitting!

[ 04 - about ]

Why this exists.

Select committees are the one part of New Zealand's law-making process where ordinary people get to push back on government legislation before it's locked in. Each bill must invite written submissions. Each submission must be read. Volume matters; personalised submissions matter more.

The current coalition government has eight bills and consultations open right now that, taken together, represent the largest single rollback of equity, environmental and human-rights protections in New Zealand in a generation. Each requires its own submission, written from scratch. That's hours of work, eight times over.

Yeah Nah does the boring part - the framing, the structure, the formatting - so you can join the voices of disability advocates, family carers, civil liberties lawyers, iwi leaders, doctors, scientists and frontline social workers who have been saying what needs to be heard about these bills. It's evergreen: as the government rolls out new bills, we'll add them. As bills close, they come off.

No party. No funding. No data collection. Built in Aotearoa, open source, one HTML file. Fork it.

  • HostedPrivacy-respecting CDN. No cookies, no accounts, no third-party analytics.
  • DataNo personal data leaves your browser. Anonymous totals only (sessions, submissions generated, completion clicks) so we can see if Yeah Nah is being used. No names, emails, IPs or submission content stored.
  • On AIAI assisted in building this resource - without that help, getting Yeah Nah live in time for these submission deadlines would have taken resources our community doesn't have right now. No AI is active when you use the tool, and no AI was active at any point during your use of it. This is a single web page with banks of human-written paragraphs for each bill - researched and drafted by people. When you click generate, your browser picks paragraphs from that list based on the concerns you've ticked, slots in your name and details, and includes whatever personal experience or comments you've added. Every submission ends up a different combination, written in pieces by people and assembled just for you in the moment - and you can edit anything you want before you file. Nothing gets sent anywhere - not to AI, not to a server, not to us. Anyone curious can read every paragraph option in the page's underlying code.
  • Free useSource code is intentionally simple - a single HTML file with no tracking, no analytics, no cookies. If you want to fork it for a different campaign, copy the file. Built on the incredible work of definitionsbill.org - thank you!
