Hon Dr NICK SMITH (National—Nelson): I raise a point of order, Madam Chairperson. The ruling that was made by Speaker Lockwood Smith related to a series of amendments that were moved by the then Labour Opposition that chose to choose every single possible date. So when the legislation came into effect, could it be 1 January, 2 January, 3 January, 4 January? And what he says in that ruling 117/2 is that you could, effectively, stymie the reasonable processes of Parliament by effectively moving 367 amendments per year on different days of which a law would have effect. And it was a perfectly reasonable ruling with those many dates.
