Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Bill

Members, we now come to Part 2. Part 2 is the debate on clauses 18 to 28, “Amendments to Local Government Electoral Legislation Act 2023”. The question is that Part 2 stand part. All those in favour will say Aye, to the contrary, No. The Ayes have it. The motion is—

💬 Hon Dr Duncan Webb: No—party vote.

CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): —agreed. That was very borderline. I’m going to let you have a party vote, but be a bit quicker next time, please, Dr Duncan Webb.

💬 Hon Dr Duncan Webb: You should be slower!

CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): Would the Clerk please conduct—I could never want to be slower. Thank you.
