Drawn

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

• Friendly Societies and Credit Unions (Regulatory Improvements) Amendment Bill (Stuart Smith)
  
• Electoral (Registration by Special Vote) Amendment Bill (Meka Whaitiri)
  
• International Transparent Treaties Bill (Fletcher Tabuteau)
  
• Marriage (Court Consent to Marriage of Minors) Amendment Bill (Joanne Hayes)
  

So, a couple of National spam-bills, a useful change to our electoral administration, and a bill to require that Parliament vote on the signing (rather than implementation) of treaties. That ought to shake things up a bit. There were 70 bills in the ballot this time, a decrease from the last few ballots. The full list can be viewed here.
