β First Reading
π³οΈ That the Electoral (Adjustment of Thresholds) Amendment Bill be now read a first time
Moved by
Iain Lees-Galloway
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Palmerston North)
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): I just want to remind members of what happened to the last member who was caught interjecting during a vote, and I am sure the member who interjected then would like to stay for her leaderβs speech. 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
(58 Ayes β 63 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.
