This Bill could invalidate the votes of enough people to swing the next election in favour of the current government for no reason other than that they failed to fill out the correct piece of paper by the "proper" time (as defined by the people who benefit from the rule change).
Justice Committee recommends passing Electoral Amendment Bill with some amendments
The bill would prevent same-day enrolments, ban prisoners from voting, and tighten up the rules around treating.

I fail to see why they are doing this, is it too cynical to suggest it's a distraction from the curriculum issues, or are they just taking a public kicking that they didn't expert?

Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)
