I also want to draw the attention to the House, where a very respected local government official was so offended by the Minister's comments that they wrote a feature article in Stuff, and here's what they said: "I feel compelled to write this feature piece to correct the Minister's false statements. The analogy that says that creating a general ward is absolutely identical to creating a Māori ward is blatantly false." I'll tell you why: it doesn't matter what corner of the world that you're in, if you want to have an electoral system, you need to divide a system up into electoral districts or wards. That is true wherever you are in the world. It's sort of like a car of democracy requires wheels. It's basic. It's required. But the notion of dividing up a community on the grounds of ethnicity is not basically required. It is unusual. It is different from what we do, and that is where both senior officials and others have said that the Minister is flawed.
