Results of vote on Sue Bradford's anti-smacking bill

Sue Bradford's bill will be read a second time after passing 70 votes to 51.

Labour 49 for
National 6 for 42 opposed
NZ First 3 for 4 opposed
Greens 6 for
UF 1 for 2 opposed
Progressive 1 for
Taito Field 1 opposed
ACT 2 opposed
Maori Party 4 for

If at the final stage the National, UF, and NZ First 'for' votes reverse the bill will be defeated. Those MPs are in for some pretty heavy lobbying.

Interesting that with all the debate about Labour casting Field's vote, he then goes and votes against them.
