So my simple question and suggestion to the Minister is that she changes that to "This Act comes into force three years after the date of Royal assent." I say that because that would give the people of New Zealand the opportunity in a general election to have their say on this issue, because at the most recent general election, the Labour Party manifesto said quite clearly that "Labour will ensure that major decisions about local democracy involve full participation of the local population from the outset." That was the statement of the Labour Party at the last election. So the moment they've been elected, arrogance has taken hold. They've got rid of Winston Peters, and they have wanted to bring in this piece of legislation in haste and without proper understanding on the part of the people of New Zealand.
