treaty principles bill

A conservative estimate suggests it will cost about $4 million to progress the controversial, and doomed, Treaty Principles Bill to a second reading at Parliament.

The ACT leader has brushed off claims the bill is impacting New Zealand’s global standing.

ACT Party leader David Seymour has secured a full six month-long select committee process for his Treaty Principles Bill.

Associate Justice Minister David Seymour has released the regulatory impact statement and corresponding cabinet paper for the Treaty Principles Bill.

As the debate over the Treaty Principles Bill continues, the health minister is worried about the tone and nature it might take in coming months.

As the Treaty principles bill nears being tabled in Parliament, ActionStation has launched its Together for Te Tiriti campaign in response.

ACT’s coalition partners National and NZ First have both said they would not support it beyond its first reading.

The move comes after months of criticism of the Bill, which seeks to redefine the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
