Filibuster Slows Progress

Filibuster Slows Progress


MPs began debating clause 8 of the the Royal Society of New Zealand Amendment Bill in its committee stage before the dinner break.

When Parliament rose at 10 pm, debate had reached clause 14 of the 20 clause bill.

Labour is slowing up progress on this bill as it objects to the next item on the Order Paper – the the Education (Freedom of Association) Amendment Bill.

That bill has also stalled in the committee stage with Members bills only debated one evening a fortnight.
