But I couldn't help but feel a little irony that now we are in the House, the Labour Party has brought forward legislation to take away democratic voting rights. Why? Because the people of New Zealand cannot be relied upon to vote the right way. You might think I'm making this up—I wish that I was—but that is what this piece of legislation says. That is what the Minister of Local Government, introducing the bill, said. That is what other speakers from the Green Party and from the Labour Party have said: "Look, these polls are an insurmountable obstacle to getting more Māori representation."
