Voting — Correction—Environmental Protection Authority Bill
Time unknown
I seek leave to correct a mistake that the Green Party made in voting on an amendment to the Environmental Protection Authority Bill yesterday—Rahui Katene’s amendment to include new clause 3A, “Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi)”, in Part 1. The Green Party accidently cast 9 votes in the negative when the intention was to cast 9 votes in the affirmative. Similarly, a mistake was made in the proxy votes for Chris Carter and Hone Harawira.
💬 Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Leave is sought to correct that vote. Is there any objection? There is no objection. Leave has been granted. The new vote is Ayes 72, Noes 48. The record will be altered accordingly.
