Vote: Bills — New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill — Third Reading

🗳️ That the New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill be now read a third time

JAMI-LEE ROSS (National—Botany): The Opposition parties in this House like to call the New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill a dodgy deal. Well, I say that the only dodgy deal is the deal done between the Greens and Labour to conspire...

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.
