Business Statement

When the House resumes on Tuesday, 8 November the Government will look to complete the first reading of the Energy Innovation (Electric Vehicles and Other Matters) Amendment Bill, the third reading of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Amendment Bill, and a number of other bills on the Order Paper. Wednesday will be a members’ day.

I thank the Leader of the House for that. In light of the House’s decision earlier today to adopt the excellent Supplementary Order Paper 191 by my colleague Mr Faafoi and Supplementary Order Paper 207 by Mr Seymour, can he confirm that the members’ bills in the name of Mr Korako and Mr Doocey will now be withdrawn?

I think, given the good sense shown by those two members in expediting this most important legislation, it is most likely that the course of action suggested by the Labour Party will be followed, which means that they have had a hat trick—which is more than they have had for many, many years.
