Treaty Principals Bill 'flawed' - former National Minister

From Checkpoint, 4:33 pm today

A former National Minister has told the Justice Committee the Treaty Principles Bill is "irretrievably flawed" and a former Prime Minister says the Bill has "damaged the collective fabric of the nation." The comments were made as the oral submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill continued today. But as Lillian Hanly reports, there were voices strongly in favour of the bill too - which led to some debate among submitters.
