— Second Reading
🗳️ That the Building (Late Consent is a Free Consent) Amendment Bill be now read a second time.
DAVID BENNETT (National—Hamilton East): I apologise. Read more →
🛑 Bill failed here — 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.
✕ Failed by a narrow margin
(52 Ayes – 69 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.
