The Abuse Redress Rules 2026
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.

18 Appointment of persons to assist appeal authority with deciding appeal
(1) In deciding whether to make an appointment under section 17(3) of the Measure, or whom to appoint, the appeal authority must consider what would be in the interests of justice in all the circumstances of the appeal. (2) To facilitate decisions under paragraph (1), the Archbishops’ Council may compile a list of persons willing to assist on appeals under the Measure, each of whom has a relevant expertise; and for that purpose, “relevant expertise” includes expertise in— (a) medicine or other matters relating to health care; (b) psychology; (c) law; (d) social work; (e) social and public policy. (3) An expertise is capable of being relevant whether it is based on practical experience or on academic study.

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.
