I can confirm that the Greens did campaign on this. It is in writing and it does speak to two of our six Māori priorities for this term that whānau, hapū, and iwi have a say in the decisions that affect them, and being on councils certainly helps them to better assume kaitiakitanga of their whenua, awa, and moana. We note that the bill "repeals the provisions in the Local Electoral Act 2001 that relate to polls in the establishment of Māori wards and Māori constituencies; and prohibits binding council-initiated polls on whether to establish Māori wards or Māori constituencies (while retaining the right of councils to initiate non-binding polls to gauge public sentiment); and establishes a transition period ending on 21 May 2021 in which any local council may, regardless of any previous decisions or previous poll outcomes, resolve to establish Māori wards or Māori constituencies for the 2022 local elections."
