Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): Thank you, Madam Chair. So we're talking about the commencement of this bill, the Local Electoral (Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Bill, and the clause says that the Act should come into force "on the day after the date of Royal assent." Parliament usually takes a number of months to read through a bill three times and have a select committee process. Then, when it's passed its third reading, it goes off to the Governor-General, who signs the bill and gives it its Royal assent, and so that's after Parliament has done its business with it. This bill, of course, has been highly truncated down to about a week, and people have had a very small amount of time to make their comments made.
