The four-page Treaty Principles Bill has been introduced - and will be the subject of Parliament debate next week.

Many are wondering about the bill's future, given that Prime Minister Chris Luxon has said his party won't support it past the select committee stage.

NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says Luxon won't even be in the country for its first reading - and will be looking to put some distance between himself and the bill ahead of the APEC summit in Peru.

"He's going overseas and talking with world leaders, particularly at a time after the US election - it's a really important gig."
