Vote: Bills — End of Life Choice Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the End of Life Choice Bill be now read a third time
Hon MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I would like to begin by acknowledging the tremendous compassion that is evident to me on both sides of this debate, and it has been from the beginning. I don’t think there is a person...
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.
🙋 Personal (conscience) vote — MPs voted as individuals rather than
following their party's position. These are typically called on moral or ethical
questions (e.g. euthanasia, abortion, alcohol law, marriage law), where by convention
parties don't whip their members into a single position.
✓ Passed by a narrow margin
(69 Ayes – 51 Noes)
