Vote: Bills — Crown Pastoral Land (Rent for Pastoral Leases) Amendment Bill
— Third Reading
🗳️ That the Crown Pastoral Land (Rent for Pastoral Leases) Amendment Bill be now read a third time
LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): I am pleased to take the final call in the third reading of the Crown Pastoral Land (Rent for Pastoral Leases) Amendment Bill, and I support it wholeheartedly. Read more →
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 narrow margin
(63 Ayes – 57 Noes – 1 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
