Vote: Bills β Public Works (Critical Infrastructure) Amendment Bill
β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the Public Works (Critical Infrastructure) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Dr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would just like to reiterate that for something that often gets talked about or mentioned as incredibly important, I would have expected the members of the Government to make a little bit...
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 large majority
(102 Ayes β 20 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.
