π We've linked this vote to our
βCapping local government rate increasesβ
policy - our best judgment is that a vote for this is a vote
for Capping local government rate increases.
π£οΈ Motion agreed to. β 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, quoted verbatim above.
