So we stand here today saying that we are going to change things. To the people back home that are wondering how this sits with us, Taupō District Council and Tauranga City Council resolved to establish Māori wards for the 2022 election. Ōpōtiki District Council resolved to hold a poll alongside the 2022 elections. Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Whakatāne District Council up to this point have been prohibited from making another resolution around Māori wards in 2020 because of a six-year binding poll in 2018 that failed.
