The overwhelming number of submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill were in opposition to the legislation, which Parliament’s Justice Select Committee has recommended not proceed.
The committee reported back on the controversial bill on Friday morning, recommending by a majority that it does not proceed.
That’s an unsurprising position given all parties bar ACT were opposed to the legislation. National and New Zealand First supported it at first reading in line with coalition commitments, but won’t back it past select committee.
The Treaty Principles Bill seeks to clarify the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi so their meaning in legislation can be clearly interpreted and understood.
