When I think about my council, Auckland Council, that was established to have 20 councillors—on 28 September 2017, Auckland Council "considered the opportunity to establish a Māori ward for the 2019 elections and resolved to support a Māori ward in principle subject to legislative change allowing the council to increase the number of members." This reiterated "the position adopted by Council in 2015 supporting the need for legislative change to allow Auckland to determine the number of members on the Governing Body and subject to that, agree in principle to establish a Māori ward and request for a consistent policy regarding Māori representation in line with legislation governing the composition of Parliament." In February 2020, the establishment of a Māori ward was again discussed. However, there had been no legislative change to allow it to take place.
