Vote: Bills — Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill be now read a third time
Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Justice): Kia ora, Mr Speaker. Thank you very much. Soon we’ll vote on the third reading of the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill, which will be the final hurdle for what I think is a torch relay. And that torch...
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 by a large majority
(112 Ayes – 8 Noes)
Hansard recorded how individual MPs from New Zealand National Party voted,
but only a single party-wide total for everyone else. That pattern usually means
New Zealand National Party allowed a conscience vote while the other parties
whipped a single position.
