I'm grateful for their input, and several minor changes were made to the bill as a result. They include insertion of a new clause 8(2) to provide greater clarity on the threshold for recommending sanctions. The new clause 8(2) clarifies that it is for the Minister to judge whether a sanction is appropriate as an act of condemnation by New Zealand. It ensures that it is appropriate for the Minister to consider sanctions for the purpose of exerting pressure on, or punishing, Russia, including through targeting oligarchs. This still retains the broad power for the Minister to make sanctions.
