Vote: Bills — Juries (Age of Excusal) Amendment Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the Juries (Age of Excusal) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH: Thank you, Madam Speaker. It’s quite different to be hearing the members from the Government side do anything other than just saying, “I commend this bill to the House.” It’s interesting to have just heard the ACT...

Third Reading — 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.
🗣️ Passed on the voices — no MP called for a
formal, counted division on this one, so there's no Ayes/Noes tally or named vote to show,
just Hansard's own recorded outcome.
