Parliament 3 July 2013

Parliament is in urgency today from 9 am until midnight. The items being considered are:

  • the second reading of the Amendment Bill (0900 – 1000)
  • the second reading of the Financial Reporting Bill (1000 – 1200)
  • the second reading of the Bail Amendment Bill (1300 – 1500)
  • the second reading of the Family Proceedings Reform Bill (1500 – 1700)
  • the second reading and committee stage of the Psychoactive Substances Bill (1700 onwards)
  • the committee stage of the Legal Assistance Amendment Bill
  • the committee stage of the and Public Finance Reform Bill
  • the committee stage and third reading of the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Amendment Bill and any bills into which it may be divided
  • the committee stage of the Taxation (Livestock Valuation, Assets Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill
  • the committee stage of the Airports (Cost Recovery for Processing of International Travellers) Bill
  • the committee stage of the Administration of Community Sentences and Orders Bill
  • the committee stage of the of (Covered Bonds) Amendment Bill, and
  • the committee stage of the Medicines Amendment Bill.

The time estimates are mine. Very hard to predict how long all the different committee stages will take, but I'd say the House will be sitting well into Thursday, and probably beyond. However many of the bills are not very controversial, so committee stages may not take too long.
