Drawn

A ballot for three member's bills was held today, and the following bills were drawn:

  • Customs and Excise (Prohibition of Imports Made by Slave Labour) Amendment Bill (Peeni Henare)
  • Public Works (Prohibition of Compulsory Acquisition of Māori Land) Amendment Bill (Catherine Delahunty)
  • Consumer Guarantees (Removal of Unrelated Party Lender Responsibility) Amendment Bill (Shane Reti)
  • Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Exemption for RNZRSA Clubs from Special Licencing Requirements for Anzac Day) Amendment Bill (Paul Foster-Bell)
The Customs and Excise (Prohibition of Imports Made by Slave Labour) Amendment Bill has been before the House before, in 2009. On that occasion, it was voted down by National and Act, with Labour, the Greens, the Maori Party and United Future voting in favour. NZ First wasn't in Parliament at the time, but if they support it this time, the bill will pass. The full list of bills in the ballot today can be seen here.
