    The Act Party is concerned about a new local Government law which would require councils to consider adding Maori wards or constituencies

    The Act Party is concerned about a new local Government law which would require councils to consider adding Maori wards or constituencies


    Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta has introduced a policy which would make it the first priority during their regular representation reviews each six years.

    David Seymour says the bill doesn't sit right with him.

    He says councils will feel pressured to implement them even if they don't want to.
