Vote: Bills — Property Law (Sunset Clauses) Amendment Bill
— First Reading
🗳️ That the Property Law (Sunset Clauses) Amendment Bill be now read a first time.
INGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): It’s been a real privilege to be able to have this reading on my bill, and I want to acknowledge my late mother for her Leary luck in getting my bill drawn. It’s continuing even after her departure, so thanks very...
🛑 Bill failed here — 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.
✕ Failed by a narrow margin
(54 Ayes – 68 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.
