But it's very unclear, and we're still actually yet to find out, how this happened in the first place. We've just had reference to it from the Minister in his third reading speech. It actually begs more questions than gives answers, because he said that under the old strategy, the elimination strategy—this is the strategy that the Government put all of their eggs in the basket on and has now given up on—the Government had to retain the power to delay local body elections. OK, maybe that's true, although, frankly, I doubt it, because local body elections are done using postal voting, and if anyone's been to a local body candidates' meeting recently, it would be fair to say they don't enjoy widespread turnouts from the community.
