(New Zealand Labour Party โ Member for Mount Roskill)

๐ We've linked this vote to our
โDoubling minimum paid sick leaveโ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
for Doubling minimum paid sick leave.
Third Reading โ 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
keeps moving forward, but this is the one that actually decides whether it happens at all.
โ Passed by a clear majority
(75 Ayes โ 43 Noes โ 2 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.
