Vote: Bills β Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Amendment Bill
β Third Readings
π³οΈ That the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Hon Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA (Minister of Pacific Island Affairs): Talofa lava. It is a pleasure to take this, the final call on these loan sharks bills, the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Amendment Bill and the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution)...
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 large majority
(113 Ayes β 7 Noes β 1 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.
