I want to get on to the point of this bill. As a former mayor, I take a good deal of interest in local government and things that happen in local government. I was around when the Local Government Act 2002 was passed. It was actually, I felt at the time, quite a constructive Act; I note people in local government were frustrated at the time because it would change the way they'd been doing things for the previous 13 or 14 years, but, none the less, it was a good piece of legislation that did a good job for local government and structured local government very well.
