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

Point of order?

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): The Hon David Parker.

Point of order?

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Oh, I’m sorry. Apologies to the Minister. I missed the point of order.

I beg your pardon, Madam Speaker. I actually compounded the error before when I said that they had voted in favour and should have voted against; it’s the other way around, and I compounded it again once you sought my clarification. So I wonder if I may seek the leave of the House again to actually get it right this time.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? I might object! There appears to be none.

Thank you. So 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 against, when it should have been recorded in favour.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Thank you for that.

I’m pretty sure about that.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): We will correct—in fact what I’m going to do is hand it back to the Clerk, who will change the—yep, and I will read it out; I don’t do maths. So the Road User Charges (Temporary RUC Reduction Scheme) Amendment Bill (No 2), third reading: the Ayes are 100, the Noes are 20. The motion is agreed to.
