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 (108 Ayes – 12 Noes)
Hansard recorded how individual MPs from New Zealand Labour Party and New Zealand National Party voted, but only a single party-wide total for everyone else. That pattern usually means New Zealand Labour Party and New Zealand National Party allowed a conscience vote while the other parties whipped a single position.
