Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: As I have explained previously, this is a short-term fix. Policy development for an enduring solution will be undertaken later in 2021. This is the second stage. This work will consider possible consultation requirements and/or review and appeal processes, and any role for the Local Government Commission in the process for establishing Māori wards and constituencies. What we are trying to achieve with the bill before the Māori Affairs Committee is a short-term fix to enable those councils who choose to make the decision to have Māori wards to be able to do so in time for the 2022 election.
