I was in an interview with Sarah Pallett on Newstalk ZB where she was directly asked by John MacDonald: did she see this bill go through the Labour caucus? She said she didn't know, she wasn't aware if it had. So the question is: why is this a local bill? Because, in fact, it's a bill that has to be a workaround if it's a local bill. It can't amend primary legislation. So I think it is a very important question—why don't Labour  MPs know whether this bill has gone to the caucus, and why is it a local bill? We get told it's a local bill because the local people asked for it. That's what the Labour Government tells us. OK,, if that's true, I'd like to hear from the Minister what assurance and what evidence he saw from Environment Canterbury that they consulted local people in the formation of this bill. I'll tell you what, Environment Canterbury (ECan) were all through the media when this bill came in to Parliament, and local people were very frustrated and ECan said, "Don't worry, you'll get your time to have your say in the select committee after the first reading." That was the first time people in Canterbury had heard about this bill.
