Sittings of the House

I move, That the sitting of the House today be extended into the morning of 19 September 2024 for further consideration in committee of the Appropriation (2024/25 Estimates) Bill, the recommittal and reconsideration in committee of the Gangs Bill and the Sentencing Amendment Bill to consider Amendment Paper 111, and consideration in committee of the Education and Training Amendment Bill.

Point of order, Mr Speaker.

SPEAKER: You don’t normally take a point of order during a vote, but—

Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: No, you don’t normally, but in a circumstance that I’ve never seen before, where two people claimed to be casting the same vote, I want to know what’s going on here.

Well, I think I can explain it to you. Mr Stephenson didn’t know that Darleen Tana was here, but did have her proxy, so the failing is on him for not having 360 vision around the House. It’s now been corrected.
