DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you, Madam Chair. And I wish simply to ask the Minister how she made the decision that it was worth rushing this legislation through under urgency to achieve the commencement date in clause 2, just to ensure the provisions in the bill would apply for one extra local body election. This legislation was passed in 2002, and, if I recall correctly, there were local body elections in New Zealand in 2004, when Labour were in power; 2007, Labour were in power; 2010, we were in power; 2013, us again; 2016, us again; and then 2019, Labour. So there's been at least three, if not four, council elections where Labour had the opportunity to pass legislation like this and they didn't. How is it now so important to use urgency, with all the problems that comes with, just to ensure that the provisions come into effect one election earlier, when so many have been done under the current rules?
