Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker, thank you. I'm very pleased to speak on behalf of the Green Party on the Local Government (Pecuniary Interests Register) Amendment Bill and congratulate Tangi Utikere—having been in this Parliament for nearly 10 years and never having had a member's bill pulled from the ballot, the luck of the biscuit tin definitely was with him in getting it pulled within the first 12 months.
