Member's Day

Today is a Member's Day, and after a long period of later stages, we should finally be seeing some first readings. First up is the second reading of the Annie Oxborough Birth Parents Registration Bill, a private bill to undo the effects of an old adoption on someone's birth records. That's unlikely to take long - no-one objects to it - so then its on to the committee stage of Camilla Belich's Companies (Directors Duties) Amendment Bill. After that, it's first readings: the last ten minutes or so of Eugenie Sage's Crown Minerals (Prohibition of Mining) Amendment Bill (which chickenshit Labour will vote down, raising the price of any future coalition), Karen Chhour's racist Oranga Tamariki (Repeal of Section 7AA) Amendment Bill, and Helen White's Employment Relations (Restraint of Trade) Amendment Bill. If the House moves quickly it should make a start on Stuart Smith's Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Cellar Door Tasting) Amendment Bill. There should be a ballot for at least two bills tomorrow.
