Business Statement
Today, the House will adjourn until Tuesday, 20 August. In that week, the House will consider the committee stages of the Corrections Amendment Bill, Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Bill, and Resource Management (Extended Duration of Coastal Permits for Marine Farms) Amendment Bill. Wednesday will be a membersβ day.
I wonder if the Deputy Leader of the House could inform us, given that the Regulatory Systems (Social Security) Amendment Bill will not be introduced as an omnibus bill, whether it will be divided and introduced as a number of bills or will the Government be giving up on that bill?
Well, I would just say to the member, that bill is very important to this Government, as is Celebrity Treasure Island to the Opposition.
