Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: I continue to say that the Government is responsive to the concerns that have been reflected by local government. We have remained agile in our response. That is why we ensured an eight-week consultation period on the advice of Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ). That is why we took on board the concerns of the sector and that is why we established the working group which is now advising on the way in which legislation can proceed. I'm really pleased that I can meet with those few mayors who are here today, at about 4.30, to be able to continue to listen to them and hear their concerns, but, more importantly, find a way that we can work towards a solution. And at least this Government has a solution, because there is no alternative on the other side of the House.
