Local Government Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
The position of local government representatives will probably become a full-time one. It is already moving in that direction. I have said it is going down that road. While I have been accused of excluding people, I am not; I am giving them choices. If they wish to be involved in local government, the choice is available to them. The same applies to the arena of national politics. It is not a case of stopping people, we are simply identifying what can be done to develop public life.
