Is she intending to postpone the second reading of the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Bill; if so, why?

PillayLYNNE PILLAY (Member in charge of the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Bill) Link to this

As the member should be aware, the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Bill has only just been reported back to the House. The bill is a local bill and I will be consulting with the respective councils, Waitakere City, Rodney City, and the Auckland Regional Council, in my capacity as the MP for Waitakere and the sponsor of the bill.

Is the member purposely delaying the second reading of the bill—as the Business Committee reported yesterday that the bill would be read for a second time today—because she no longer has the numbers in the House for it to pass?

CullenHon Dr Michael Cullen Link to this

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. There has to be some relationship to the truth, and the Business Committee yesterday was clearly informed the bill was still below the line today. So it cannot come up for debate.

WilsonMadam SPEAKER Link to this

Yes, that was a point of information. Did the member want anything more—

PillayLYNNE PILLAY Link to this

No, Madam Speaker. The Minister has answered appropriately for me. [ Interruption]

That was a clarification, which is often given in this House when there is a misunderstanding as to the nature of the House’s affairs, and it was to the assistance of members.
