Voting — Correction—COVID-19 Response (Management Measures) Legislation Bill
Point of order. Sorry, Madam Speaker. It’s come to my attention that the way the National Party voted on—I know this is slightly unusual. But the way the National Party voted in relation to Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs) from the COVID-19 management measures bill, there was a bit of confusion about two SOPs from the Green Party. Essentially, what I’m seeking leave of the House to do is to change our vote in relation to the two SOPs and flip from one to the other.
Leave is sought for that course of action. Is there any objection? There is none.
OK. So in relation to SOP 70, which is the Hon Julie Anne Genter’s SOP, National voted in favour of it and we want to vote against it, and in relation to SOP 69, which is the SOP in the name of Golriz Ghahraman, National voted against but we wish to vote in favour of it.
Leave is sought for that course of action. Is there any objection? There is none.
