Voting — Correction—Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Harm Minimisation) Amendment Bill
Last night, during the vote on the first reading of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Harm Minimisation) Amendment Bill, the votes of five Labour members were not cast. I seek leave for those votes to be added and the result of the vote adjusted accordingly. I will supply the names of the members to the Clerk; four were opposed and one was in favour.
💬 DEPUTY SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection?
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. It’s not clear, but were proxies held for those members at the time?
Speaking to the point of order, yes, I confirm that the five members had proxies that were held.
So there is none. That vote is corrected and the result is now Ayes 30, Noes 89.
