✨ Electoral Boundary Objections

28 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3813

Objection 493 Tararua District Council & Iwi of Tamaki Nui A Rua

Objects to the southern boundary of the Te Tai Tonga electorate, on the grounds that it does not recognise the long established Maori area of Tamaki Nui A Rua, which has much significance in the eyes of local iwi.

Suggested solution The southern boundary on the east coast be shifted to the northern boundary of the Tararua District Council.

General

Objection 79 M O Hely

Objects to the tolerance level of ±5% which is far too small and lead to the West Coast including Collingwood and Motueka. If 10% was the tolerance rule West Coast would be West Coast and Kaikoura would start on the other side of the Ashley River and not include Woodend or further north at the Waipara River. Other anomalies could be fixed by the 10% rule.

Suggested solution Politicians should be asked to review the tolerance level.

Objection 861 C Cullen

Objects to all of the electoral boundaries. With the use of the MMP voting system, the need for all electorates to have the same number of voters is not required. Representation in Parliament will largely be by overall party vote, not by constituency MPs. The main criteria for constituency seats should be: community of interest, facility of communication and topographical features.

Suggested solution Electorates should follow the Local Authority boundaries, and where possible should not cross Regional Council boundaries. This will consolidate the role of Local Government as well as using the community of interest focus already achieved.

Objection 766 J Cameron

The Commission has no authority to use Maori names for electorates so should set aside the use of Maori names and go back to English names for the proposed Maori electorates until there is a clear direction by Maori they want change. Further, the proposed boundaries do not reflect that nearly 1 in 4 persons stating they are Maori are located in the Auckland region. Therefore, the proposed Maori electoral boundaries should be redrawn to accommodate the existing growth patterns and projections for Maori in Auckland.
