Voting — Correction—Road User Charges (Temporary RUC Reduction Scheme) Amendment Bill (No 2)

Point of order. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I wish to seek the leave of the House to correct a vote on the previous bill, Road User Charges (Temporary RUC Reduction Scheme) Amendment Bill (No 2), third reading.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is none.

On the third and final reading of the Road User Charges (Temporary RUC Reduction Scheme) Amendment Bill (No 2), Te Paati Māori’s vote was recorded as “in favour” of the bill, but should have been recorded as “against” the bill.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Thank you for that, so—just a moment, the cavalry has just arrived. Can the member just repeat what he believes happened in the vote, and I’ll just check it against the sheet.

I believe that it was recorded as being “in favour” of the bill when it should have been recorded “against”.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): OK, thank you. So the record I have of the vote in the Road User Charges (Temporary RUC Reduction Scheme) Amendment Bill (No 2) at its third reading has Te Paati Māori 2 votes against. That leaves the total the Ayes 98, the Noes 22. The Noes comprise of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand, ACT New Zealand, and Te Paati Māori. The question is that that motion be agreed to.
