What Hacker News says
3 sourcesThis is interesting, but really needs to be taken a bit further. For example, the commit https://github.com/Br3nda/legislation/commit/ed9e389c5573c98... adds the Animal Welfare Treatment of Animals Amendment Bill - but the effect of this Bill is actually to amend the Animal Welfare Act 1999. In other words, this Bill is a legal patch, so it should probably be shown as a git branch that contains a commit modifying the Animal Welfare Act 1999 as well as adding the Amendment bill.
As a sidebar, it's interesting that the Statute of Marlborough (1267) is still in force in NZ.
