Debbie Ngarewa-Packer
(MΔori Party β List Member)
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Poto Williams): Order! Order! Waiata Read more β
π We've linked this vote to our
βLess red tape for mining industryβ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
against Less red tape for mining industry.
π Bill failed here β 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.
β Failed by a large majority
(13 Ayes β 106 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.
