A ballot for three Member's Bills was held today, and the following bills were drawn:
- Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) (Provision of Breast Cancer Screening Services) Amendment Bill (Shane Reti)
- New Zealand Bill of Rights (Right to Lawfully Acquired Property) Amendment Bill (Barbara Kuriger)
- District Court (Protecting Judgment Debtors on Main Benefit) Amendment Bill (Anahila Kanongata’a)
So it looks like ACT's propertarian radicalism is back, now being pushed by National. Which shows you how far right they've come in the last decade. And unfortunately the bill will be voted on by the next Parliament, which might have an ACT-National majority. Ugh.
There were 70 bills in the ballot, which is a pretty healthy number.
