Vote: Bills — Repeal of Good Friday and Easter Sunday as Restricted Trading Days (Shop Trading and Sale of Alcohol) Amendment Bill
— First Reading
🗳️ That the Repeal of Good Friday and Easter Sunday as Restricted Trading Days (Shop Trading and Sale of Alcohol) Amendment Bill be now read a first time
CHRIS BAILLIE (ACT): I’m not going to “labour” on this for too much longer—I don’t like using that word—but thank you very much for everyone’s contribution. It was anticipated, if you listened to what I said at the start—I did say that...
🛑 Bill failed here — this reading vote failed, and a bill can't proceed
past a failed reading. So even though this isn't the third reading, it's the last we saw
of this bill: it doesn't get another vote after this one.
✕ Failed by a clear majority
(37 Ayes – 81 Noes – 2 Absent)
Hansard recorded how individual MPs from New Zealand National Party voted,
but only a single party-wide total for everyone else. That pattern usually means
New Zealand National Party allowed a conscience vote while the other parties
whipped a single position.
