How has the PM's position on the Treaty Principles Bill changed over time?The Spinoff Daily, Wednesday November 20
Today on The Spinoff: The best signs from the final day of the Toitū Te Tiriti hīkoi, a beginner’s guide to yum cha, and has Netflix forgotten about New Zealand? But first: How has Christopher Luxon’s position on the Treaty Principles Bill changed over time?
Toby Manhire: “The National Party has spent a large amount of time in this parliamentary term talking about a bill it doesn’t like. Which is not much fun. In the Herald, Claire Trevett put it like this: ‘If you want to watch joy die in a National MP’s eyes these days, it only takes three words: Treaty Principles Bill.’ That applies as much to Christopher Luxon – who negotiated the deal with David Seymour whereby National would support the bill to select committee – as anyone. Rarely has a day gone by when the prime minister hasn’t been asked about the legislation. Like an exasperated dad trying to snuff out one of those reigniting candles, he has consistently said he couldn’t be clearer. But could he? Certainly, his responses have evolved over time. Let’s chart it out.”
