Electoral Finance Bill
I raise a point of order, Madam Chairperson. There is slight confusion here. You put the vote and there was a voice call. There was a call in favour and there was a call opposed. It appears now that some of those opposing may have changed their vote.
This is an amendment that the Government has agreed to support. It is one of Christopher Finlaysonβs amendments. There was a voice call on our side where the person may not have understood that we are supporting this amendment, and we will be voting for it.
Is there a Standing Order that states that the party vote has to follow the voice vote. Oh, is there not?
The CHAIRPERSON (Ann Hartley): We are taking the voice vote again, Mr Brownlee. Just to clarify the amendment for everyone, we will read it out again.
The question was put that the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 166 in the name of Christopher Finlayson to clause 22 be agreed to.
Amendment agreed to.
The question was put that the following amendment in the name of the Hon Tony Ryall to clause 22A(1) be agreed to:
to omit from paragraph (c) the amount β$5,000β, and substitute the amount β$5,001β.
