BUSINESS STATEMENT
Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): Legislation to be considered next week will include the remaining stages of the Ngāti Rangitihi Claims Settlement Bill and the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2021-22, GST, and Remedial Matters) Bill; the committee stage of the Māori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Amendment Bill, and the third readings of the Commerce Amendment Bill and the Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Bill. Wednesday will be a members’ day.
CHRIS BISHOP (National): I thank the Leader of the House for that update. I wonder if he might inform as to when progress is expected on the Screen Industry Workers Bill, which has been on the Order Paper for 18 months or so and appears to be making no progress.
Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): The House, of course, has a very busy schedule, and the Government—a very busy and very productive Government—has a lot of legislation that we’re trying to work our way through at the moment, but I can assure the member that in the fullness of time, at the appropriate moment, it will make its way to the top of the Order Paper.
