The third point I want to make, just briefly, is whether councils can do this already. I want to quote the well-known Wellington lawyer who is an advocate for local authorities on rating issues here, Mr Jonathan Salter. He said, "the general perception amongst local authorities about the rating of Māori land is that it is an issue which lives in the 'too hard' basket. Many local authorities now acknowledge the sensitivity of rating Māori land in the context of the Treaty of Waitangi but find the statutory provisions in Part xiii of the Rating Powers Act extremely difficult to implement in practice … the local authorities which appear to have achieved the greatest degree of success are those which have established sound liaison and goodwill with the Māori in their districts." I quote Mr Salter because this House needs to give clear direction for how local authorities are meant to implement those rules, and it's important for lawyers to be able to give clear advice, both to local authorities and to Māori land owners, about how those rates will be affected.
