Tabling of Documents — Licensing Trusts: Letter from Rod Donald

During the debate on the second reading of the Gambling Amendment Bill, in the middle of my speech there were some interjections from New Zealand First members saying that the Green Party had not supported the licensing trusts problem being addressed by way of a Statutes Amendment Bill. I seek leave to table the letter I sent to the Hon George Hawkins supporting the use of a Statutes Amendment Bill to address the licensing trusts problem. That should clarify the matter, and I hope the New Zealand First members recognise that they made a mistake.

Document, by leave, laid on the Table of the House.
