Hon Dr NICK SMITH: Well, no not, Mr Willie Jackson. Let's check the parliamentary Hansard. The law that puts in place the referendum on Māori wards was passed in 2002 by a Labour Government. Nanaia Mahuta spoke in the third reading, strongly supporting the law that she today says is racist. So I say to the Minister: how can a member in one breath, in one speech to the House, say this is great law and then come round a number of years later and say it's racist law? I say that member is misleading. I say that if it is a racist law, she should have the courage of her convictions, stand up in this Parliament, and apologise for the previous Labour Government, of which she was a part, for passing it.
