Boom Scandal Gone I suppose 3 different MP’s in as many terms of government is par for the course in some electorates. Those contestable seats that flip and flop from Labour to National and back again. But here in the Clutha Southland, now Southland electorate we have been wrapped in the blue blanket of the National Party forever. Like it or not. I was excited when National chose a young progressive MP in after went to the list. Not that I particularly care for National over Labour but because he was not a farmer. Maybe would give a hoot about the Wakatipu a tad more than Bill did, and that hope came to pass as Todd moved into the neighbourhood in . He spent time with the local business community and learnt what help we needed from central government. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Then along came Hamish Walker. Another likeable young bloke. Maybe a little more country than I would like but without a doubt a hard worker. He went into bat for all sorts of social, community and business-related concerns this huge and diverse electorate had. He was available at his Frankton office, answered calls and things were looking up. Life is about building relationships and with Hamish, hopes were high that the Wakatipu #getbumped at the Queenstown Ice Arena in our all new Ice would have a long-term advocate. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Bumper Cars. Bump & Skate combos available at great prices So now what? Back to square one. Despite the electoral boundary changes Southland is still Southland surprise surprise. Dominated by the farming industry to our South. In my humble opinion the boundaries are still wrong. The Queenstown Lakes District should be in one electorate. Despite our differences with , we have more in common with that lot than the farmers to the South. Wanaka is in the Waitaki electorate. Unfortunately, another National safe seat. I say unfortunately not because of any great love for Labour, Green, Act or NZ First but because a truly contestable seat brings with it the benefit of attention from political suitors. But let’s not dwell on the perfect fit as far as electoral boundaries, and start thinking about what we need from our next member of parliament. No farmers please. We get how important the primary industry is to New Zealand but the last viable farm in the Wakatipu was sold into lifestyle blocks and residential subdivisions years ago. Our most pressing need is someone as keen to protect the 96% of outstanding natural landscape left when i dip in the Wakatipu and the waterways that it drains into as we are. We need someone who is prepared to sit in their Frankton office with an open- door policy to every resident of the Wakatipu with a legitimate need for parliamentary help. That is our migrants with immigration trouble, our businesses with legislation trouble, our council with infrastructure trouble, families with schooling and education trouble, our whole community with health care trouble. It is a tough job as Todd and Hamish will testify to. But someone needs to do it and someone good.

As research has demonstrated, this is likely to result in poor decision making. The interests of the community and environment are often side-lined leading to an increase in distrust between the elected offi cials and the community. As part of the RESET Summit 2020, One New Zealand is hosting an evening with Max Rashbrooke, to talk about the future of democracy. Following on from Max’s last visit to the district in 2019, this conversation takes a look at the next steps we need to take to get more and diverse voices around the decision making table. It provides an opportunity to collectively ask ourselves how we can create a democratic system based on our common values and shared vision, consensus building, truly equitable representation that captures all of our diverse thinking and voices. Only then will we increase our chances of making some really good decisions. Max is a Wellington-based writer with twin interests in economic inequality and democratic participation, and is currently the 2020 J. D. Stout Fellow at Victoria University of Wellington.
