ACT MP Cameron Luxton On National Copying His Bill To Stop Unelected Votes
About this episode
Duncan Garner interviews ACT MP Cameron Luxton about the National party's delay in addressing voting rights for unelected members on council committees.
National is finally closing the loophole that allows unelected members of the public to get voting rights on council committees. Local Government Minister Simon Watts has moved to stop it, but let’s be honest, it’s the bare minimum. We talk to ACT MP Cameron Luxton, who drafted the original bill months ago, about why National took so long to protect our democracy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
