VoteCHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): The question is that the Minister's tabled amendments to clauses 427G and 427X on Supplementary Order Paper 389 be agreed to.A party vote was called for on the question That the amendments be agreed to.Ayes 72New Zealand Labour 62; Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand 9; Kerekere.Noes 44New Zealand National 34; ACT New Zealand 10.Amendments agreed to.Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): Point of order Mr Chair. I'm just wanting to check that there has been the proper order of the Supplementary Order Paper put here. I've got this Supplementary Order Paper in hand which is an amendment to Supplementary Order Paper 389. It is on the Table. I'm just checking with the Clerks as to whether that amendment to the Supplementary Order Paper 389 ought to have been put before Supplementary Order Paper 389 was put. Here's the document there.CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): We'll just take the time to make sure we've got that right Minister in the chair.Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): Mr Chair can I assist the committee here. I'm speaking to the point of order that I've raised. I think the Supplementary Order Paper should have been put first and I'm not sure what the proper way through is. The simplest way for me is just to seek leave of the committee rather than have an argument about it. If necessary this is a matter that I would need to push but I suspect there is an easy way through here which is to—I'm not sure whether that vote had been completely recorded. Perhaps we could have an indication—Matt Doocey: Just speaking to that point of order Mr Chair.CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): Just hold on one second.Matt Doocey: Just while you're working through the proceedings I think it would be helpful from the Minister for the committee just to hear why he thinks the order should go in the order he is suggesting and the issues that he's trying to overcome.CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): He has spoken before. But elaborate on your thoughts on the point of order.Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): If it assists I believe that the process of the committee is meant to put amendments to amendments before the amendment is heard if they're from the Minister. That does not appear to have occurred here. I'm not blaming the Clerks but that's what has happened here and I would suggest the proper thing is to put that Supplementary Order Paper that then amends that wider Supplementary Order Paper in the manner that accords with the Standing Orders.MATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Speaking to that point of order surely if the proceedings aren't in order that probably makes the last vote void—you can't be amending an amendment that hasn't been amended.CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): OK. I hear both sides. If you can just allow me to take advice now. I think we have a way through. Just to clarify: I'm advised that the tabled amendment was actually voted on through the wording of the amendment. So actually if the member is concerned that it hadn't been I'm reassured that isn't the case. Thank you for the committee taking the time to clarify that. We are now in the position we were in before. We'll now go on to the second amendment which is that of Simon Court. Just before we go everyone understands?Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): So if my understanding is correct you're now saying that we've already voted on that Supplementary Order Paper of 10.20 a.m. on clause 164 and that tabled amendment was put before the Supplementary Order Paper 389 was put and therefore they have both been voted upon and we come to the member Simon Court's amendments.CHAIRPERSON (Greg O'Connor): That is the advice I've received.
