Joining Newshub Nation on Saturday, ACT leader and incoming Regulation Minister David Seymour admitted coalition partners National and NZ First were sceptical of the [Treaty] referendum.
He said the compromise was a law be drafted, debated in Parliament and sent to a Select Committee.
That would “allow people to have a say about our Treaty principles”, Seymour added.
Seymour then said, “I suspect people are going to really welcome that conversation.”
“It’s going to be a really positive thing,” Seymour told Newshub Nation.
“People who are out there saying, ‘This is all terrible – we’re not allowed to have that debate’… Hang on a minute, debating the principles of the Treaty actually increases the mana of the Treaty because we’re finally talking about it democratically.”
