Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ruanui Trust welcomes the announcement from the Minister of Local Government Nanaia Mahuta to change the Local Electoral Act removing polling over councils Māori wards voting.
This amendment has been long overdue as the current provisions of the Local Electoral Act are basically racist driven clauses that only apply polling referendum to Māori wards and none other.
“For too long we have witnessed communities taking sides and communities being pulled apart over local Māori representation,” said Tumu W’akaae, Haimona Maruera.
