RACHEL BOYACK (Labour—Nelson): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. It's a privilege to be one of Labour's "Rachel Bs" in this term of Parliament. It is a pleasure to take a call on this important bill. I want to thank the Minister of Local Government, the Hon Nanaia Mahuta, for bringing this bill to the House. Can I also acknowledge those in the gallery who have travelled today, who have journeyed on this mahi for many, many years. It's been wonderful to share some kai with you tonight.
