Speaker’s Rulings — Postponement

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. After discussion with all parties on behalf of a member who is in Auckland for COVID reasons, I seek leave of the House for the Overseas Investment (Exempt Investment from OECD Countries) Amendment Bill, in the name of Damien Smith, to be held over until further notice from the Business Committee.

We have dealt with a very similar matter at the Business Committee today, and members are generally very cooperative. So is there any objection to that occurring? There appears to be none, and I’m assuming that we’ll bring it back. We’ll talk to the Business Committee about the timing of bringing it back. Does that sound right? OK?

💬 David Seymour: Just waiting. Yep—as soon as we know the alert level.

There is agreement.
