A ballot for a single Member's Bill was held today, and the following bill was drawn:
- Public Works (Prohibition of Compulsory Acquisition of Māori Land) Amendment Bill (Hūhana Lyndon)
The bill would prevent the government from stealing Māori land in breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It was previously drawn from the ballot in 2016, and was voted down by National, ACT, and NZ First. Sadly, I expect the same to happen this time.
