SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for the opportunity to take a call on the Local Electoral (Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Bill. I just want to pick up on what the Minister was telling us regarding the issue of retrospectivity. I think she really just touched on the issue of retrospectivity and sort of brushed over it to try and excuse the Government for what they are doing here by passing legislation which has retrospective effect in New Zealand.
