Now, the Minister talked about constraints on the freedom to move and said that this was unjustified and unfair. I don't agree with that. I think the question that we need to consider is that either this is such an important and material issue that a widespread move of Māori from one roll to another would have a disproportionate and a distortionary effect on electoral boundaries—in which case there are representation risks with this bill—or it is so minor and inconsequential that the case for this bill has not been made, and, actually, my submission is that it's the latter. This is not a material issue, and if one looks at the practice over the last 25 years when Māori have had the option to move from one roll to the other, there's a very intensive four-month period where the taxpayer funds a significant advertising and marketing campaign to encourage Māori to understand what their options are and to make informed choices. In 1997, the net movement on to the Māori roll was 2,664.
