Vote: Bills β Child Poverty Reduction Bill
β Third Readings
π³οΈ That the Child Poverty Reduction Bill and the Childrenβs Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Dame Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Mount Albert)
PRIYANCA RADHAKRISHNAN (Labour): Thank you, Madam Assistant Speaker. It is with a great sense of privilege and, indeed, honour that I rise to make a contribution to the third readings of the Child Poverty Reduction Bill and the Children's Amendment... Read more β
Third Reading β this is the last vote a bill needs to
pass before it's sent off to become law. Earlier votes (first reading, second reading, and
any votes on amendments along the way) decide what the bill looks like and whether it

β Passed by a large majority
(118 Ayes β 1 Noes β 1 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
there's no per-member breakdown to show here.
