The suggested amendments—I have to say I agree with all of them—provide clarity. They provide specificity; they provide more accuracy around what will be expected of those who are successfully elected to public office within the context of local government. This is because the purpose of the bill is around transparency and integrity in local decision-making. It is not about putting people off standing for public office in communities, but it is about ensuring there is consistency around New Zealand when it comes to declaring interests for those who make decisions—decisions that affect all of us.
