Smoke-free Environments (Enhanced Protection) Amendment Bill
Procedure
Time unknown
I seek leave that not withstanding Standing Order 145(1)(b), the votes cast for each party on the second reading of this bill may include votes cast for the Ayes and Noes, and abstentions.
π¬ Dail Jones: I did not quite catch what the member said. I was engaged on something else, and it is obviously a very important issue.
The leave is a consequence of the agreement at the Business Committee that allows a split vote by the National Party or any other party, should it wish to do so.
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Clem Simich): Is there any objection to that course of action? There appears to be none.
Second Reading
Debate resumed from 25 June.
