I do want to highlight a point made by a number of submitters: that Māori wards are one of the measures to provide space for Māori in local decision-making processes. There were views that the bill is anti-democratic. I disagree. The bill recognises that the Treaty of Waitangi helps to shape and design a democracy that is of us—it belongs to us, it is founded here in our country, and it can only be found here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
