I support Māori wards as a voter on council elections locally, but what this does is actually innately unfair in the way that it has been structured because, when members opposite are talking about co-governance—and we need to be very clear; this is what this proposal is—last year the Government rejected that when they put through the local government election Act for Māori wards. But this is around co-governance. What this does is says if you are Māori and you've opted to be on a Māori roll, which is 28 percent of the voting population in the Rotorua Lakes District, you have an equal say to the other 72 percent. It actually doesn't recognise that there are possibly as many Māori on the general roll who are also disadvantaged when it comes to how they elect their councillors, and that is the reason that we're opposing this, and, actually, it needs to be fixed.
