Strange Jamie; Rurawhe AdrianJAMIE STRANGE (Labour): Thank you for the opportunity to make a contribution on Part 5. In new section 46(3) inserted by clause 30 it talks about If an extraordinary or emergency meeting of a local authority is called and cannot be publicly notified in the manner required … the local authority must cause that meeting and the general nature of business to be transacted at that meeting". So it says there that there's two things the council must do: "(a) to be publicly notified as soon as practicable before the meeting is to be held; or (b) if it is not practicable to publish a notice in newspapers before the meeting to be notified as soon as practicable on the local authority's Internet site and in any other manner that is reasonable in the circumstances." So my question as it pertains to that area there is: how will people know that a meeting is on? So an extraordinary meeting is called. It will either go in the newspaper if there's a daily newspaper. Now the daily newspapers tend to be papers that are paid for subscription-based like for example the Waikato Times. So people who pay the subscription will obviously have that notice but those who don't pay that subscription will not have the notice. My understanding is that would be at least probably 60 percent to 70 percent may be even higher—maybe even 80 percent of the public do not subscribe to a newspaper. So they will not be notified by the paper. So the point is here that they will be notified on the internet site which is what the legislation is talking about here. But are people expected to go on the internet site every day to sort of check to see "Oh is there an extraordinary meeting or an emergency meeting?" Are people required to put that into their daily habit of checking the site? Or is there a way that they can be notified whether it's an app on their phone or whether there's a notification that may come up for those who are interested?I wonder if the intent of the legislation permits things like Facebook advertising—for example sponsored posts. A number of us in here are familiar with sponsored posts which is basically where a Facebook post gets put up sponsored so it goes far and wide. So anyone with the Facebook app who is scrolling through the feed would see the sponsored post come up. So I'm not sure if that's something that would line up with the intent of the bill—maybe a sponsored advert on something like LinkedIn for example. And if that was the case that sponsored posts were reasonable in the circumstances obviously it leads to the question of who pays—who pays for that? You know at the moment the ratepayer is paying in terms of newspapers and I guess they sort of seem to be OK with that but would ratepayers be happy to pay for a sponsored post for example in a newspaper? I was wondering if the Minister had thought through some of those details around where it says "other manner".There are a couple of points there I'd like the Minister to please address. So the first one is the newspapers which if someone does not subscribe to a daily newspaper they will not receive the notice of the special meeting and that those who do subscribe are a smallish portion of society to be fair. I'm not sure what the percentages are. My guess would be probably 20 percent to 30 percent. Then the second point and the second question relates to the online aspect: what other sites? As I've sort of talked about if it's only on the council website it's quite difficult for people to know that there is an extraordinary meeting on there unless there's someone who every day or maybe a couple of times a day checks the council website. I'm not sure there are many people who actually do that as part of their general daily routine hence you know looking at other points.The other thing is around social media. So social media is continually changing and there are continual challenges out there for councils for local government administrations—how they engage with social media and how they increase engagement. So I've talked about things like maybe sponsoring adverts. So there's a couple of points there. One is around the newspapers and the second one is about the online advertising if the Minister could relate to that and other matters thank you.Brett Hudson: Mr Chair?CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): I call the Hon Peeni Henare."
