So you've got to ask this question: why is there a Minister standing up and telling Māori throughout the country, "Wave a flag, thump a drum. This is great."? We have handed over the future of Māori representation at local government to all the old, grey white men who sit around council tables from one end of the country to the other—utterly ridiculous. And to say, "Well, the problem is that no one came along with a poll to say, 'Let's have Māori representation.' in the short time that the opportunity has existed.", a time where, if you go back to that point, the Minister welcomed it as groundbreaking legislation but now says, "No, it's racist." somehow—that's just an excuse. It's just an excuse.
