Moved by
Hon Jenny Salesa
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Panmure-ΕtΔhuhu)
HELEN WHITE (Labour): This is a very sensible piece of legislation. Itβs very practical. It supports our courts. It supports all the participants in it. I commend this bill to the House. 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
(77 Ayes β 43 Noes)
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.
