Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
As published
34J Obstruction and contempt
(1) If the Ombudsman is satisfied that the condition in subsection (2) is met in relation to a person, he or she may issue a certificate to that effect to the High Court.
(2) The condition is that the person—
(a) without lawful excuse, has obstructed the discharge of any of the Ombudsman's functions under this Part, or
(b) has done an act in relation to an investigation which, if the investigation were proceedings in the High Court, would constitute contempt of court.
(3) If the Ombudsman issues a certificate, the High Court may inquire into the matter.
(4) If the High Court is satisfied that the condition in subsection (2) is met in relation to the person, it may deal with that person in the same manner as it may deal with a person who has committed contempt in relation to the High Court.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
