Vote: Bills β COVID-19 Public Health Response (Extension of Act and Reduction of Powers) Amendment Bill
β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Extension of Act and Reduction of Powers) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall
(New Zealand Labour Party β List Member)
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): I declare the House in committee for consideration of the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Fonterra Capital Restructuring) Amendment Bill. Read more β
π We've linked this vote to our
βCOVID-19 emergency and lockdown powersβ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
for COVID-19 emergency and lockdown powers.
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 large majority
(92 Ayes β 21 Noes β 6 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.
