So like so many of the pieces of legislation that this Labour Party has brought to Parliament in the 18 months I've been a member of Parliament, it doesn't really fix the problem of encouraging better quality candidates to stand for office. In fact, it was only a few short weeks ago that another Labour Party member—Tangi Utikere, a former deputy mayor of Palmerston North council—brought his Local Government (Pecuniary Interests Register) Amendment Bill to Parliament, and that was intended so that people who are standing as candidates or who are elected to local government have to list all of their pecuniary interests.
