Before I call the next question, I’ll just go back to the drill sheet for a Government motion that I understand was circulated to the House.

🗣️ Speech Brooke Van Velden (ACT New Zealand — Member for Tāmaki)
Time unknown

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to move a motion without notice or debate to recognise the anniversary of the Pike River disaster.

SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course of action being followed? There is none.

Hon BROOKE VAN VELDEN: I move, That this House notes that 19 November 2025 marks 15 years since the Pike River disaster; express its condolences to family and friends who will forever be profoundly impacted; and thank rescue and support teams for their service on that day and the days that followed.

Motion agreed to.
