Drawn

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

  • Better Regional Boundaries Bill (Tim Costley)
  • Concealment of Location of Victim Remains Bill (Tom Rutherford)
  • Criminal Records (Clean Slate) (Additional Eligibility) Amendment Bill (Tangi Utikere)
  • Crimes (Virginity Testing Practices) Amendment Bill (Priyanca Radhakrishnan)

So, could be better, and looking at some of what is in the ballot, it could have been a lot worse.

These bills are unlikely to come up for first reading until June, or even July, depending on how much the regime abuses urgency in the next month.
