β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the Crown Minerals Amendment Act 2013 Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Hon Dr Nick Smith
(New Zealand National Party β Member for Nelson)
BRENDAN HORAN (Independent): I rise to oppose this third reading of the βCrown Minerals Amendment to the Amendment to the Amendment to the Amendment Billβ. I do so because this is a DIY job. It is a fix-up job, and not a very good one at that.... Read more β
Third Reading β 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.
β Passed by a narrow margin
(68 Ayes β 46 Noes β 6 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
there's no per-member breakdown to show here.
