Hon CLAYTON COSGROVE (Labour—Waimakariri) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I am not trying to be unhelpful but I think the problem is simply that as the Clerk at the Table calls—and it is not her problem—before she has the words out my colleague stands up and votes. It is very difficult to hear which way that is going because there are two voices. If the member would just pause for a moment so that the Clerk can finish calling then the issue would be resolved. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: OK. No I do not need any help. There is a sequence of votes which is very clear; we have been doing this for much of yesterday and much of today. There is actually a sequence to how we vote; I do not accept the member’s proposition at all. But the member who is casting the vote for United Future might take just a slight pause before he casts that vote. 
The question was put that the following amendment in the name of the Hon George Hawkins to clause 9 be agreed to:

 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Could I ask that in future there be at least some pause so that we can tell the difference? Otherwise it is impossible to tell who is or who is not voting. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: I think it is very clear. One has only to look around the Chamber to see who is likely to be taking a vote so I do not accept that proposition at all.

 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I was not clear from how that vote was cast whether the National whip was casting a vote on behalf of the Maori Party or United Future because of the way in which it was put to him. I might be missing something— 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: No no. The Maori Party did not exercise its right to take a vote and the only votes recorded were for National Labour the Greens ACT and United Future. So that was the vote.

Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) 
: 
 It is relatively simple. There are two points. First you had called the amendment so you cannot now reverse that. Secondly I remind you of the advice that you gave the Committee not very long ago in respect of me which was that you would not entertain challenges to your rulings. By calling that amendment you have effectively ruled it in. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: Thank you. My interpretation is that these amendments are in order. Of course it is a proposal up until the date that is mentioned in Part 1. I am ruling that these amendments are in order. 
The question was put that the following amendment in the name of the Hon George Hawkins to clause 9 be agreed to:

[Volume:654;Page:3446] 
Hon JOHN CARTER (Associate Minister of Local Government) 
: 
 I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. You have just ruled those amendments out because the Auckland Council is not now a proposal—and you referred to Part 1 where it says that the Auckland Council is the Auckland Council and therefore it cannot be a proposal. I put it to you that clause 4(3) which we have now passed states: “Part 2 establishes the Auckland Council as a unitary authority. This Part does not come into force (and therefore the Council does not come into existence) until 1 November 2010”. Therefore that means that until that day there is no Auckland Council. I put it to you therefore that anything that addresses this issue prior to 1 November 2010 is out of order because there is no Auckland Council until that day. 
We have actually passed Part 1 which states very clearly that the council does not come into existence until 1 November 2010. Therefore I suggest to you that we cannot make any alterations to something that is not in existence until that date of 1 November. These amendments suggest that the Auckland Council is in existence. Therefore I suggest to you that they too should be ruled out of order.

The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch) 
: There are a number of amendments that follow that have been ruled out of order. The reason for that is that in Part 1 the Committee agreed that a single unitary authority be established for the Auckland region on 1 November 2010. Amendments that propose that the authority is merely a proposal after 1 November 2010 are not consistent with that decision made in Part 1. 
The next amendment for consideration is to insert new clause 9(5)—I will just read it so you know where we are—“The Auckland Council shall also be known as the Auckland Supercity Proposal until 30 October 2010”.

I just ask you out of respect for your office whether you could ask him to pull his head in.
