National is again pouring cold water on ACT's Treaty Principles bill.

ACT Leader David Seymour plans to introduce a bill to redefine the Treaty of Waitangi by May.

National will support the bill to the Select Committee stage, but no further.  

Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka told Tim Dower that they aren't interested in rewriting the Treaty.  

He says the Treaty stands as it is, and is important for the past, present, and future.
