Member's morning

Today the House is in an extended sitting, devoted to Member's Business as a catch-up for time stolen by the government in urgency. First up was the second reading of the Restoring Citizenship Removed By Citizenship (Western Samoa) Act 1982 Bill, soon to be known as the Citizenship (Western Samoa) (Restoration) Amendment Bill. Second is the first reading of a local bill, the Auckland Harbour Board and Takapuna Borough Council Empowering Act Amendment Bill. After that the House will move on to the third reading of Katie Nimon's Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) (Improving Mental Health Outcomes) Amendment Bill. If that goes quickly the House might be able to spend a bit more time on the second reading of Rima Nakhle's Corrections (Victim Protection) Amendment Bill, but I doubt it'll get there. So again, no ballot - but with the postponement of several second readings, we might finally get one soon.
