Yes and on top of the above Labour have already said the Regulations standards bill will be tossed in the dust bin when they are next in Govt . So that further re-enforces the above . The treaty as written and the developed principles are here to stay and not to be screwed around with. We are a polynesian nation whether the latest immigrants like it or not.

PS I am Pakeha and 74 and proud of our polynesian nation.
Anyone who doesnt like it can screw themselves.

But there is no debate if the bill is not even attended at select committee by the party who initiated the bill to here submissions..

Like three waters and the debate around the country for that, this should sink this government pretty much like most of its policies. If this doesn’t their gutting the health system will, let’s have that debate.

D’oh! The political requirement is that this Bill and its successors never are never passed, which allows the stunt to remain active. No practical politician willingly abandons a winning cause.
