Point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave that the House appoint the Hon Jenny Salesa as Assistant Speaker—

💬 SPEAKER: Yeah, that comes shortly.

Can I just do it now?

💬 SPEAKER: Yeah, it’s all right—yeah.

I seek leave that the House appoint the Hon Jenny Salesa as Assistant Speaker until the end of Thursday, 22 August 2024, despite Standing Order 29.

Leave is sought. Is there any objection to that? There appears to be none. Thank you. [Members applaud] That’s very nice—that’s a whole day’s worth. Incredible!

💬 Rt Hon Chris Hipkins: You can have the rest of the day off.

Thanks very much, yeah.
