Dr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour—Banks Peninsula): Kia orana, Mr Speaker. How do the changes in this bill make it different from the current requirements? In a nutshell, there is just simply not any current requirements for councils to even bother considering Māori wards. All this does is it means that some councils can avoid making a decision at all. So despite the silly, vacuous protestations by the Opposition, it's a very straightforward bill that makes some local electoral changes. It happens to be well supported by the government sector, and, on that basis, I commend the bill to the House.
