Urgency

Hon Dr MICHAEL CULLEN (Leader of the House) Link to this

I move, That urgency be accorded the passing through their remaining stages of the Employment Relations (Breaks and Infant Feeding) Amendment Bill and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Amendment Bill (No 3); the first reading of the Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 4); the second reading of the Public Transport Management Bill; the passing through their remaining stages of the Biofuel Bill, the Commerce Amendment Bill, the Disability (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) Bill; the Committee stage of the Te Roroa Claims Settlement Bill; the passing through their remaining stages of the Real Estate Agents Bill, the Affordable Housing: Enabling Territorial Authorities Bill, the Customs and Excise Amendment Bill (No 3), the Companies (Minority Buy-out Rights) Amendment Bill, the Electricity Industry Reform Amendment Bill, the Family Courts Matters Bill, the Walking Access Bill; the first reading of the Cultural Property (Protection in Armed Conflict) Bill; and the passing through their remaining stages of the Policing Bill, and any bills into which those bills may be divided. The motion is moved so that a range of legislation can be passed before the House has to rise before the election. That, I think, concludes the reasons I need to give.
