FSLAB jumps up order paper

Kris Faafoi

After Commerce Minister Kris Faafoi told delegates at the FSC’s Navigating Regulation advice roadshow in Wellington this week that he expected to see FSLAB pass within weeks, it moved up the order paper to number six on Thursday.

The house did not get to it before the 6pm adjournment but it is likely to be near the top of the paper when it sits again on Tuesday. Once it passes its third reading it will progress to Royal Assent.

Faafoi said he was not expecting major changes to the bill, which has support from both sides of the House.

It had originally been expected that FSLAB could pass before Christmas.
