Mitchell Mark; Hipkins ChrisHon MARK MITCHELL (National—Whangaparāoa): Point of order Madam Speaker. I just wanted to bring to your attention some behaviour in the House that I think is totally inappropriate and that is the National's whip was taking a legitimate point of order and raising a legitimate concern from this side of the House. The Labour Party's chief whip came into the Chamber and made what I think was an extremely negative—Hon Louise Upston: Unparliamentarily.Hon MARK MITCHELL: —an unparliamentarily comment directed at our senior whip. I'd like you to take some action on that please.Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): Speaking to the point of order you'll be aware Madam Chair that all votes in the House are heard in silence. If the Opposition's acting whip wishes to be respected during that time then she might want to follow the rules of the House.Hon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Speaking to that point of order what we've seen occur here is that a vote had been taken and on the voices the Chair had declared the vote and moved on to the next Supplementary Order Paper before interference from a Labour member. Now in terms of parliamentary procedure I will make zero apologies for taking this seriously. In my 13 years I've never seen a motion to recall a Speaker voted down. So I accept the member's comment that votes should be taken in silence but I think the member who is the Minister is charge of this piece of legislation should also respect that this is a very contentious piece of legislation. For the process and the Chair to change direction on an interference from a Labour member is absolutely why there is heightened sensitivity. The recall of the Speaker is not one that is ever ever undertaken lightly and so I'm reinforcing my colleague's request for an apology by the chief whip of the Government.Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): Point of order Madam Chair. What we've just seen is an egregious breach of the Standing Orders. It is absolutely unacceptable for any member to at any point suggest that a presiding officer's actions in the House have been as a result of any form of coercion from any members of the House. That is actually one of the most serious breaches of the Standing Orders that any member in the House can do.CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): Referring to the point of order from the Hon Louise Upston it is absolutely out of order to allege interference in the chairing of the House. We also then had a party vote. A member who voted for the declared majority can call for a party vote—for a declared minority sorry can call for a party vote. That has happened. The party vote declared that the motion has been agreed to and the party vote has now been correctly recorded.Hon Members: Point of order.CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): The Chair's ruling is final in this case the Hon Louise Upston. We shall move on.Hon Louise Upston: Point of order. CHAIRPERSON (Hon Jenny Salesa): Is it a fresh point of order?Hon LOUISE UPSTON (National—Taupō): Yes it is. For the ongoing order of the House I would request respectfully that attention is paid to the replay of what has occurred in this committee stage. And I put that request politely.
