Moved by
David Benson-Pope
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Dunedin South)
Hon DAVID CARTER (National): I seek leave to table a document that I referred to. It is the Gardiner and Parata report dated 20 May 2002. Document, by leave, laid on the Table of the House. Sitting suspended from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. 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
keeps moving forward, but this is the one that actually decides whether it happens at all.
β Passed by a clear majority
(83 Ayes β 36 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.
