β First Reading
π³οΈ That the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income (Pro Rata Entitlement) Amendment Bill be now read a first time
Moved by
Denis O'Rourke
(New Zealand First Party β List Member)
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): Order! The memberβs time has expired. Read more β
π Bill failed here β this reading vote failed, and a bill can't proceed
past a failed reading. So even though this isn't the third reading, it's the last we saw
of this bill: it doesn't get another vote after this one.
β Failed by a narrow margin
(60 Ayes β 61 Noes)
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.
