SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I acknowledge the member for bringing this local bill to the House. I, obviously, rise on behalf of the National Party, as the member for North Shore and as the National Party spokesperson for local government. The National Party, in this instance, will be opposing this bill and I want to use this opportunity to outline our reasons why that is the case. I think that is important in order to bring context in terms of the opportunity and the challenges that we see with the Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill.
