Vote: Bills β Water Services Entities Amendment Bill
β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the Water Services Entities Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Kieran McAnulty
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Wairarapa)
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): I declare the House in committee for consideration of the Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 3). Read more β
π We've linked this vote to our
βThree Watersβ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
for Three Waters.
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
(72 Ayes β 47 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.
