Volume:705;Page:3694. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]Points of OrderMembers of Parliament—Conflicts of InterestRON MARK (NZ First): I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. To continue my point—my point is this: we have done a search using the Parliamentary Library research services and it is now clear to us that a number of Government members who have just voted have strong interests in property development companies in Auckland. A—Hon Member: Oh shut upRON MARK: Shh! In silence. A number—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Points of order in silence please.RON MARK: It is clear from the register that some 24 National Party members have 48 properties. But it is also very clear and concerning—and this is why I tried to give an opportunity for the Government to consider before it cast those votes—that a number of National Party members who just voted have strong interests in property development companies that could stand to gain from this legislation being moved—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): No no. [Interruption] Order! [Interruption] The member—[Interruption] Order! We are dealing with a point of order and there will be silence. If the member had concerns about this—we have had a 4-hour debate. We started this debate at 9 o’clock this morning. So we have had over 4 hours now of this debate. If the member had concerns he should have brought them up at that stage. We cannot interfere with the vote. The vote has been taken I have announced the result and the Clerk has read the third reading. That is the end of the matter. If the member has concerns then the course of action for him to take is to actually go through the Speaker and lodge a complaint. If you feel that there are some grievances here then this could be a case for the Privileges Committee and you would be able to lodge those grievances through that avenue but not interfere with the process of this House because your concerns are not a process matter that this House can concern itself with. We move on.Absence of Members—Effect on VotingRON MARK (NZ First): I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I have also received reports of a number of Government MPs having been seen outside of the House so on that basis I am going to ask to move that a personal vote be called in accordance with Standing Order 144.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): No I have concluded the vote; it is all finished. If the member had concerns as I mentioned earlier he should have brought it up earlier. Once we have taken the vote once I have announced the result and the Clerk has read the third reading it is finished. That is the end of the matter. That is how we have always operated. There is no recourse. We are now moving on. Your point of order is out of order.Ron Mark: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): If you are relitigating what I have said Mr Mark that would be a very serious matter as far as the House is concerned.RON MARK (NZ First): I understand and appreciate that but I did raise a point of order prior to the third reading for your announcement and I did attempt to get that through to you and you overruled and moved forward. My—The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Lindsay Tisch): Once we have started the vote when you raised a point of order I thought it was in regard to the process that we were going through at that stage. Your point of order was about what you considered to be some affairs of certain members of Parliament which is a very serious matter—a very serious matter. It is an allegation that this House would take very very seriously and that is why I have considered that this is a matter that you need to go and lodge through the Privileges Committee if you feel aggrieved by it. As far as the vote on this bill is concerned we have finished that and I will not entertain any further discussion on it. The matter is finished. So we now move to the next bill on the Order Paper.
