Points of Order β Urgent Question
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. It is my understanding that an urgent question was lodged by the National Party.
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: Yes, there was. It was ruled not to be an urgent question.
I am sorry. I missed that.
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: It has been ruled out as an urgent question. That is the end of the matter.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I ask for some clarity for the future. The first point is that this decision was brought down by the court at 12.30 today. Effectively, the court ruled that MΔori do have a right to claim ownership of foreshores, etc.
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: Please be seated. This was a private communication from the member to me. I said no to the urgent question. There is no argument on that issue, at all.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave for a further question on the matter of the Court of Appeal's decision to grant usage of foreshoreβ
π¬ Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought to ask that question. Is there any objection? There is.
