But I stand here tonight to talk to the Local Government (Pecuniary Interests Register) Amendment Bill, which has been brought to the House by my colleague Mr Utikere, who, as we've heard, actually had a history in local government as he was, in fact, Deputy Mayor of the Palmerston North council. I can say with hand on heart that the speakers before me are absolutely in possession of a far greater deal of knowledge on this particular bill than I am, because I'm not part of the Governance Administration Committee, but I would like to thank them for their work because I can see from the extremely detailed reports that a great deal of thought and work has gone into them.
