I want to rebut two points that were made very cheaply by Minister Little. The first, he said, was: how could I talk about democracy when I had made a decision as a Minister to suspend Environment Canterbury? I remind you, Helen Clark suspended the Auckland Area Health Board. This Government has suspended local authorities when they have been in difficulty. It is a complete red herring, and my passion for democracy and good electoral law is as strong as anybody's. Then the last thing the Minister said was: well, what would I know about elections with my own electoral record? I'll compare my electoral record with Mr Little's any time you like. Mr Little has stood for Parliament in a constituency seat three times and been rejected three times. I've stood in a constituency seat 10 times and won all 10 times and continue to have the mandate of my community. I'm not going to have a lecture from Mr Little about the principles of democracy.
