Voting — Correction—Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Exemption for Race Meetings) Amendment Bill

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Last night, the National whips held proxies for all National members in favour of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Exemption for Race Meetings) Amendment Bill. Unfortunately, due to an administrative error, these votes were not cast on behalf of the members not in the Chamber. I seek leave for those 25 votes to be added to the Ayes and the result of the vote adjusted accordingly, and will supply the names of the proxies to the Clerk to include in the result.

Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There—

💬 Hon Grant Robertson: Speaking to the point of order, I don’t want to object, Mr Speaker; I just want to, because I wasn’t in the House last night, understand whether that affects the result of the bill. No, it doesn’t? OK, that’s fine.

OK. Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? Appears to be none. The result will be corrected.
