πŸ—£οΈ Speech Peter Brown (New Zealand First Party β€” List Member)
Time unknown

I have a little problem. I have a member away whom I did not know would be away. I would like in the first instance to seek leave for the two New Zealand First members who are away attending the Hon Brian Donnelly’s investiture to be counted as being in this House.

πŸ’¬ Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Leave has been sought for that course to be followed. Is there any objection?

πŸ—£οΈ Speech Paul Swain (New Zealand Labour Party β€” Member for Rimutaka)
Time unknown

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I just missed the last couple of points, so I wonder whether the member would like to clarify what he was saying.

πŸ—£οΈ Speech Hon Gerry Brownlee (New Zealand National Party β€” Member for Ilam)
Time unknown

I can probably help. New Zealand First has members who are attending the investiture of the Hon Brian Donnelly at Government House today. They could not be in the House for a vote. The House by leave can consider that they are in the presence of Parliament for the purpose of that vote. We certainly agree with that.

πŸ’¬ Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Leave has been sought for that course to be followed. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.
