So the question is, I suppose: does this really matter or not? The Minister's view is that it's just a short-term fix, no big deal, not consequential, it seems—"A short-term fix and we'll get it sorted in time so that it happens ahead of the next local body elections." Now, the obvious response to that would be that if you really wanted to get ahead and send the signal to local government that these referendums wouldn't amount to anything and the voice of the people wouldn't amount to anything, then you could have introduced this bill a long time ago.
