This bill is retrospective, because regardless of any previous decisions about conducting polls or past council commitments to a binding poll; that's all been disregarded through this legislation. And that same Cabinet paper said, "There are risks with repealing the poll provisions while provisions seeking to overturn Māori ward resolutions are circulating. This will attract criticism from some members of the public that the Government is shifting the goalpost before the clock runs out." So how do you think the nine areas across New Zealand who had already committed to or were in the process of generating signed petitions actually feel? Because seven of those nine areas already have more than the 5 percent of residents having signed a petition requesting a Māori wards referendum. So it's a shabby moving of the goalposts for sure.
