I can't believe that I'm standing here in this Parliament making this argument—defending equal suffrage and accountability at the ballot box. It astounds me that I'm having to make this argument, and frankly, it's been very difficult to get the message across. I'm not going to criticise media generally, but I do want to make the point in regards to the Christchurch Press: you point blank refused to publish an article I wrote on this topic outlining our view, saying that they wouldn't publish it because they needed to have a balanced article written by somebody else, which didn't strike me as difficult to arrange. But lo and behold, this morning they do publish an article supportive of the bill and refuse to publish mine. And so it's been very difficult to have a decent debate about what is an important issue. This is not just a matter for Canterbury; it's a matter for the whole country.
