There’s fears the Treaty Principles Bill could be a missed opportunity.  

ACT is seeking to introduce legislation to redefine the Treaty principles by the end of May.  

Political commentator Grant Duncan says National said it would support it to select committee, but that's where the party's support stops. 

Duncan told Roman Travers that with proper long-term consultation, such a bill could be beneficial.  

He says it could stop the issue festering away for the next generations.
