VSM Bill passes first reading

Obviously delighted the VSM Bill passed its first reading last night. I’ll blog some of the speeches once they are on Hansard (or a helpful staffer could send me the advance copy!).

As I understand it National, ACT and United Future voted in favour which would be 64 votes, and Labour, Labour pretending to be a separate party, Maori and Greens voted against with 58 votes.
