A ballot for six member's bills was held today, and the following bills were drawn:
- Local Government (Management of Local Authorities) Amendment Bill (Stuart Smith)
- Crown Minerals (Prohibition on Mining on Conservation Land) Amendment Bill (Lan Pham)
- New Zealand Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief Medal Bill (Tim Costley)
- Oranga Tamariki (Suitable Accommodation on Leaving Care) Amendment Bill (Marama Davidson)
- Residential Tenancies (Requiring Landlords to Provide Curtains) Amendment Bill (Helen White)
- Crimes (Impeding Major Bridges, Tunnels, and Roads) Amendment Bill (Catherine Wedd)
So parliament is going to be forced to go on record about pillaging the conservation estate, or protecting it, right before an election. Unfortunately we also have another national anti-protest law being pushed as a member's bill, fronted by the ever-tyrannical Catherine Wedd (who pushed the teen social media ban / give all your private info to foreign privacy-raiding megacorps bill). But hopefully that one will be nuked by the next government.
