BUSINESS STATEMENT
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): Next week, the annual review debate will continue, with appearances from the Ministers of Education , Health, and Justice. Legislation to be considered will include the second readings of the Accident Compensation (Access Reporting and Other Matters) Amendment Bill, the Business Payment Practices Bill, and the Worker Protection (Migrant and Other Employees) Bill; and the third reading of the Forests (Legal Harvest Assurance) Amendment Bill. On Tuesday the 9th, the Prime Minister will move a motion to mark the coronation of King Charles III. On Wednesday the 10th, there will be a members’ day.
Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I thank the Leader of the House for the update on the business for next week. I wonder if he could advise the House whether the Government is contemplating introducing legislation amending or repealing the waka-jumping provisions of the Electoral Act?
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): I thank the member for his question. At this point in time, the Government is not intending to do that. I’m sure it will be a subject of rich conversation in times to come.
