Does this Bill have the backing of the coalition Government?

The Treaty Principles Bill is ACT policy and ACT’s coalition agreement with National and New Zealand First commits to introducing and passing a Treaty Principles Bill through a first reading in 2024. However, Cabinet – made up of all three parties – will need to agree to the final shape of the Bill before it is introduced to the House.

Beyond the first reading, it will be up to ACT and the public to convince Parliament to support the Bill further.
