Vote: Bills — Te Here ā Nuku (Nelson Tenths) Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the Te Here ā Nuku (Nelson Tenths) Bill be now read a third time
VANUSHI WALTERS: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Tēnā koutou katoa. It’s an enormous privilege to speak at the third reading of Te Here ā Nuku (Nelson Tenths) Bill. When I first became an MP, I was a little bit horrified to find out that...

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.
