I'd like to start by thanking Te Komiti Whiriwhiri Take Māori and its chair, Tāmati Coffey. The committee had a truncated time frame to hear submissions and report back. They met through the weekend to give as many submitters as possible the opportunity to have their say. There were 12,508 submissions on this bill—that's about one submission every 10 seconds that submissions were open. It's great to see that, despite the time pressures to get this in place for the 2022 local elections, New Zealanders took the opportunity to have their say.
