The reforms that the Labour Government has led, particularly the reforms in the previous legislation around putting the establishment of Māori wards on an equal footing with general wards so that you didn't have to require a referendum to establish a Māori ward—you don't for a general ward; why should you for a Māori ward? That was an improvement in local democracy. So it's absolutely ridiculous for the National speakers to claim that this is about a lack of trust by central government in local government, when it increases the flexibility for councils to determine the number of councillors, in the case of Auckland Council; their local board boundaries, in the case of Auckland Council; and when it improves electoral processes. It is nonsense for a result where two candidates tie to be determined by a coin toss. So this bill ensures that there is automatically a judicial recount in those circumstances, rather than it just being determined on something as opportunistic as a coin toss.
