Hon Dr NICK SMITH (National—Nelson): This bill is bad law, it's bad process, and it's bad principles. The Minister has made a complete hash of the law, and let me explain. What occurred during the committee stage is that the Minister's Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) got gutted. Let me explain what a nonsense of a law we are now debating on the third reading that just explains why we should not be passing electoral law in a mad rush under urgency.
