NZCPR Submission: LOCAL GOVERNMENT MAORI WARD BILL.
Submissions on the Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Maori Wards and Maori Constituencies) Amendment Bill CLOSE ON WEDNESDAY 29 MAY AT 11.59PM.
This is the Bill that reintroduces petition rights for Maori wards, to enable voters to call for a referendum so the community can decide whether they want their councils divided along racial lines.
This democratic right was, of course, abolished by the Labour Government in 2021. Through this Bill, the Coalition Government is restoring local democracy.
We would urge anyone who supports the Bill to send in a submission saying so. Full details can be found here > tinyurl.com/252c6kwb
Since the NZCPR strongly supports the Bill and has sent in a submission that includes two suggestions to improve the Bill, we are sharing those details below.
You are more than welcome to use the information for your own submission – but please remember to USE YOUR OWN WORDS otherwise similar submissions ARE COUNTED AS ONE, and we want each submission to count......
