The Government has brought forward the introduction of the Treaty Principles Bill.

The legislation will be introduced to Parliament on Thursday, more than a week earlier than expected.

A planned country wide protest against the bill is still going ahead next week as planned, in which ahīkoiwill travel from the top of the North Island and from Bluff in the far south to arrive at Parliament in Wellington.

The Government is facing accusations that the change in schedule is to undermine the hīkoi.

David Seymour, the Minister responsible for the Bill, tells Heather du Plessis-Allan scheduled introductions to Parliament are changed often and the changes usually go unnoticed.

“Sometimes you get things done early, you go early.”
