Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion (Safe Areas) Amendment Bill
The question is that clauses 1 to 5 stand part. Do we have a call? So, if you wish to take a call from outside the House, would you remember, please, to ensure you ask for that call, and if you don’t, then I imagine that we’ll move on. The question is that clauses 1 to 5 stand part. All those in favour say, Aye. To the contrary, No.
💬 Chris Penk: Aye and no, ha, ha!
CHAIRPERSON (Ian McKelvie): That’s fine. Well, effectively, you’re calling for a—what sort of vote are we calling for, then?
💬 David Seymour: He’s calling for a party vote—party vote.
Point of order, Mr Chair. I just wanted to check for the House’s record that I correctly heard the National Party’s vote. Did he say 14 in favour and nine against? He seems to have lost 10 MPs there.
💬 Hon Member: Yes, that’s correct.
Bill reported without amendment.
House resumed.
The committee has considered the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion (Safe Areas) Amendment Bill and reports it without amendment. I move, That the report be adopted.
