Urgent Debates Declined — COVID-19—Trans-Tasman Travel Bubble

I have received a letter from the Hon Judith Collins seeking to debate under Standing Order 399 the Prime Minister’s comment yesterday that the Government will be making an announcement on the commencement date of the trans-Tasman travel bubble on 6 April. The urgent debate is a means of debating matters that have occurred. It is not a means of debating things may occur in the future: Speaker’s ruling—[Interruption]—well, we’ll think about that tomorrow—205/3. The application is therefore declined.
