I suspect it was thrown out to distract from the (removal of) pay equity bill being rushed through in 24 hours and the Regulatory Standards Bill with 0.3% of support from select committee submitters being rammed through as well.
This is one of the most deeply undemocratic NZ governments of recent time, but given Act are in it, and Willis et al are Atlas network aligned neo-liberal fundamentalists that's no surprise as that's the whole point of neo-liberalism.
