SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I rise on behalf of the National Party and as the member of Parliament for North Shore and as the party spokesperson on local government, in relation to the Local Government Electoral Legislation Bill first reading. Listening to the Associate Minister provide an overview of the bill, of which it was very positive and very rising, I must say, the reality is, when I visited a large number of councils across this country, not one of them has raised the need or the requirement for legislation in this bill.
