JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): Thank you, Madam Speaker. We acknowledge that collecting rates on Māori land has been a longstanding challenge for both councils and kaitiaki of whenua Māori. However, this bill does not provide any new solutions for rating authorities; it sidesteps the fundamental issues of Māori land, which require reforming Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993, and the Government has never assessed the economic impact of this legislation before, during, and after introducing the bill to the House.
