Hon SIMON BRIDGES: Labour don't trust New Zealanders to elect Māori, and they also don't trust New Zealanders on referenda process like set out in this law. I say that's a real shame. You know, I accept, actually, if you look at the referendum and the 5 percent issue, it's problematic. Actually, it needs reform, because the reality of doing that in relation to Māori wards but not in relation to other wards needs a fix, but the answer there, as Christopher Luxon set out very well, is real, genuine, thought through local government reform, not coming to the House with a bill that's anti-democratic, that's passed in urgency, that's done retrospectively, and that's done without a skerrick of a campaign promise anywhere for the utmost of cynical reasons by the New Zealand Labour Party. This is a bill that I say, as a Māori man, actually—you know what—says to Māori around the country, "You're not good enough to do it in a general ward. You're not good enough to do it in a general seat." Actually, I was. Plenty others have been. I find that personally insulting for Māori who come after me. I say this is bad process, it's a bad law, and I, for one, am very glad that National today is opposing it.
