NICOLA GRIGG: I have read the bill Angie Warren-Clark. I suggest you do too. This bill that you are referring to is totally ignorant of the fact that New Zealand does not want it. Councils up and down the country have rejected it. Communities across the North Island and across the South Island are protesting it as we speak. The people of Selwyn do not want it. The ratepayers of Selwyn have spent almost 30 years building, amalgamating, and paying for about $750 million worth of infrastructure asset. The 72,000 people in the district that I represent do not want this. They have not been asked. They have not been consulted. The Selwyn District Council is just one of 22 district councils across the South Island that are going to be shut out of town. This bill does away with their representation. Those 22 councils will be amalgamated into entity D, but we will have just seven seats. Of those 22 councils, there will be seven representatives.
