A ballot was held today for three Member's Bills, and the following bills were drawn:
- KiwiFund Bill (Fletcher Tabuteau)
- Education (National Education and Learning Priorities) Amendment Bill (Jan Tinetti)
- Education (Protecting Teacher Title) Amendment Bill (Jenny Marcroft)
So, three government bills to replace the ones they pulled. Things worked out for them after all.
Sadly not drawn: Angie Warren-Clark's Crimes (Offence of Blasphemous Libel) Amendment Bill, which would presumably repeal the archaic offence of blasphemous libel. Its good to see a Labour MP finally stepping up to push for this - it is
long past time.
