PAUL EAGLE (Labour—Rongotai) (remote): Thank you, Mr Speaker. It's a pleasure to be talking on this bill, the Local Government (Pecuniary Interests Register) Amendment Bill. Can I just acknowledge the words of the previous speaker, the Hon Michael Woodhouse. I was just reflecting on what that member said about standing for the Mayor of Dunedin city. I think he said something like, "I'd rather put a hot needle in my eye.", or something like that, which I thought was rather hilarious. But I guess that sort of sums up local government in many ways sometimes.
