ARENA WILLIAMS (Labour—Manurewa): Rather than something divisive and discriminatory, this bill supports fairness and inclusion. I want to acknowledge the comments of the member opposite, the Hon Simon Bridges, in the face of some of the advocates who have worked on this tirelessly for so long who have joined us in the gallery. When we talk about the need for urgency of this legislation in this House, I want to think about those people in the gallery who have joined us today who have worked on this for more than 20 years. Advocates in our communities who have seen the repugnant racism that comes out of the poll requirement where councils want to advance Māori representation in their councils, under their representation, but cannot do that because of this poll requirement.
