๐ณ๏ธ That the Sentencing (Reinstating Three Strikes) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Nicole McKee
(ACT New Zealand โ List Member)
ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): I take that point. It was quieter than usual for me, so if there was noise, I noticed it less, but thank you for that observation. Read more โ
๐ We've linked this vote to our
โThree strikes mandatory sentencingโ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
for Three strikes mandatory sentencing.
Third Reading โ 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.
โ Passed by a clear majority
(68 Ayes โ 43 Noes โ 12 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.
