by leave—I move amendments (1) to (3) on sheet 1810:

(1) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (line 7), before "The provisions of this Act", insert "(1)":

(2) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (after line 16), at the end of section 5AB, add.

(2) However, the effect of subsection (1) is to be disregarded in applying the provisions of this Act and the regulations for the purposes of doing a thing with respect to a New Zealand citizen and a special category visa (including the granting of such a visa to a New Zealand citizen).

(3) In this section:

do a thing includes:

(a) make a decision (however described); and

(b) exercise a power, perform a function, comply with an obligation or discharge a duty; and

(c) do anything else.

(3) Schedule 1, item 4, page 5 (after line 31), at the end of the item, add:

(6) Despite subitems (1) to (5), this item does not apply in relation to a thing done, or purported to be done, with respect to a New Zealand citizen and a special category visa (including the granting of such a visa to a New Zealand citizen).

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: The question is that the amendments be agreed to.
