I'd like to thank everyone who took time over the last week to prepare a written submission or to meet and present their views to the committee. A large number of these submissions were template-style submissions, which, of course, we still take into account. But I want to focus on the 2,805 individuals and organisations who wrote in with personalised messages of what this bill means to them in their communities. Two-thirds of those unique submitters strongly supported the bill, this includes local government sector organisations including Local Government New Zealand and Taituarā; Local Government Professionals Aotearoa, formerly the New Zealand Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM); Maruata, representing elected Māori members; at least 21 local authorities; countless current and former local government elected members; iwi and Māori organisations from all around Aotearoa, and not to mention thousands of individual Māori and Pākehā New Zealanders.
