Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I extend my thanks to my colleagues as well.
My thanks to the witnesses for their presentations.
I'll start with you, Mr. Hughes. I'll continue in English; it's my first language as well.
I wonder if you could speak to your experience watching voter turnout decline in New Zealand after the initial bump, the slight bump in voter turnout in the first MMP election. It's an issue that we've seen is taking place across western democracies. I wonder if you could provide some insight into why that is happening in New Zealand.
