Drawn

A ballot for one Member's bill was held this morning, and the following bill was drawn:

• New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income (Fair Residency) Amendment Bill (Mark Patterson)
  

The bill is typical NZ First racism, seeking to make it harder for immigrants to gain access to superannuation. A similar bill proposing a pro-rate entitlement based on residency (rather than simply extending the residency qualification) was defeated in 2015. Though the bad news there is that both Labour and the Greens voted for it. Hopefully they will refuse to vote for this piece of racist shit.
