Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: I disagree with that particular statement. This issue has been around for a very long time. Many communities have had very thorough conversations about the merits of having Māori wards within their council. The principle of democracy in terms of one person, one vote will still apply. The way in which Māori wards will be determined in so far as the formula will still remain the same. What we're trying to achieve is the ability to remove the discriminatory barrier—through a truncated process, albeit—in time for the 2022 local body elections.
