Ikaroa-Rāwhiti

Objection Tuhoe-Te Uru Taumatua Trust

Objects to Tuai, a mainly Tuhoe village, and the eastern Te Urewera National Park being included within the Ikaroa-Rāwhiti 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: Reallocate 20 meshblocks that cover Tuhoe land from Ikaroa-Rāwhiti to the Waiariki electorate.

GGG

Non Specific Electorate
GGG-001

Objection B Jacobson

Recommends the discontinuance of the Māori electorates since the introduction of MMP has ensured representation of all ethnic or minority groups are better served and there is no advantage in maintaining a separate Māori roll.

GGG-002 h

Objection A Work

Similar to GGG-001

GGG-003

Objection J Darragh

Objects to the boundary changes on the basis they favour the National Party.

Suggested solution: Keep the current electorates as they are balanced.

GGG-004

Objection Dr M Harvey

Objects to the loss of one list seat as the MMP system will be less democratically representative of demographic and political perspectives of voters.

Suggested solution: That the number and proportion of list MP’s to electorate MP’s be kept the same.
