Vote: Bills โ Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill
โ Second Reading
๐ณ๏ธ That the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill be now read a second time
SPEAKER: No, no, noโfella, excuse me. Good boyโon your way. [Interruption] Someone come and help him out. I just want to say to the whole gallery who is applauding that that sort of outburst does not help us move forward in...
๐ Bill failed here โ 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.
โ Failed by a large majority
(11 Ayes โ 112 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.
