That change is critical to ensure that our local government is set up for communities, and I do want to indulge just for a moment and say that we've seen in my electorate of Nelson in the last week just how critical the role of local government is in our communities when we have the significant events like we've had. I just want to acknowledge the work of the Nelson mayor, Rachel Reese, the Tasman mayor, Tim King, and all of the staff from Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council, who have been doing an outstanding job, and our neighbours across in Marlborough also have been facing a very challenging situation.
