✨ Electoral Objections
100 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 3 14 JANUARY 2014
N33-020 n
Objection C Spanhake
Objects to the name “Taranaki-King Country” as there is now very little of Taranaki included in the electorate.
Suggested solution: Name the electorate “King Country”.
N33-021 n
Objection M Oliver
Objects to the name of the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate as the name does not represent a significant part of the electorate.
N33-022 b, h
Objection The Temple View Residents’ Association
Similar to N33-021
N33-023 b
Objection J Lawson
Objects to the name and size of the Taranaki-King Country electorate. As a long thin electorate it does not meet community of interest, topographical and communication criteria. The proposed electorate covers three regional councils and nine local councils, as well as being 315km long and a four hour trip.
Suggested solution: Establish a north Waikato electorate that covers the Waikato District, and Matamata-Piako Council areas. Have the southern parts of Taranaki-King Country aligned with Rangitikei, another electorate that could need a north-south divide.
N33-024 b, n
Objection R Gallagher
Objects to geographical spread of the proposed Taranaki-King Country electorate. North to south it is 315km, covers a number of local bodies, and represents a large number of unique interests. The name of the electorate also fails to accurately represent the makeup of the electorate.
Suggested solution: Redraw the boundaries to follow local authority boundaries where possible, for example an electorate made of the Waikato District and Matamata-Piako districts would meet population quota and have a strong community of interest link. Another option is to name the electorate “Raglan – Taranaki – King Country”.
N33-025 b, n, h
Objection R MacLeod
Objects to the township of Raglan being part of the Taranaki-King Country electorate, an area it has nothing in common with.
Suggested solution: Place the town in the Waikato electorate. Alternatively rename the electorate “Raglan-King Country-Taranaki”.
N35
N35-001 b, h
Objection Tuhoe-Te Uru Taumatua Trust
Objects to Tuai, a mainly Tuhoe village, and the eastern Te Urewera National Park being included within the Napier electorate. This isolates a small section of Tuhoe land away from the rest of the Iwi and places a small section of the land that falls within the post-treaty settlement agreement within a separate electorate.
Suggested solution: Adjust the north west boundary with East Coast so that Lake Waikaremoana and Tuai are included in the East Coast electorate as well as all parts of the Te Urewera National Park.
N35-002 b
Objection A Milton-Tee
Objects to part of Poverty Bay being included in the Napier electorate, splitting a community of interest. This area is a long drive from Napier and close to Gisborne and should be represented by one MP.
Suggested solution: Retain all of Poverty Bay and the East Coast north of Gisborne in one electorate.
