Vote: Bills — Broadcasting (Repeal of Advertising Restrictions) Amendment Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the Broadcasting (Repeal of Advertising Restrictions) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
SPEAKER: Members, I’ve determined that the subject of this vote will be treated as a conscience issue. In this case, I know there are members who want a personal vote, and I’m prepared to accept one. This is the process we are...
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.
