Sale of Liquor Amendment Bill (No 2)

I seek leave that the Committee be able to consider the Sale of Liquor Amendment Bill (No 2) as a single question, except that clause 14 be taken as a separate vote.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Mr Dunne has an amendment that would also need to be taken as a separate vote as a conscience issue, and it should be included in the motion, I think.

Leave is therefore sought accordingly, and to emphasise to people what that means, it is one debate, but when there is a vote, Mr Dunne’s amendment relating to clubs, and clause 14, are to be taken as separate votes.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Both my amendment and the other amendment relate to clause 14. I think therefore that we can simply take one debate, and then recognize that on clause 14 there will be separate votes.

I will just say that again, so that we know what we are doing. We are seeking leave for a separate question to have one debate, and I will take that leave first. Is there any objection? There is not. Now I will seek leave of the House for the Committee to have the provisions of clause 14 relating to Easter Sunday wine sales and the amendment of the Hon Peter Dunne relating to clubs taken as separate questions when we come to do the voting. Is there any objection to that course being followed? There is not.
