It’s one year since the current Government was formed. From major policy changes, to an early Cabinet reshuffle, to the controversy and protest associated with the Treaty Principles Bill in recent weeks, it’s been a momentous period. What’s next? Here’s GRC+ PN’s take on the Coalition’s first year:

Message from Prof Dame Marilyn Waring Please like and share widely … Kia ora whanau, If you have a moment this weekend, please send a message to your National MP about Seymour's Treaty Bill. National backbenchers need to be free to cast a 'personal vote' when the Speaker advises: 'The question is that the Bill be read a first time'. (Standing Orders 145 and 147). At that point we can spare Aotearoa the spectacle of the hearings, and all that will attend that. It is a short, clear request, (and even if they are too focused on their futures to do the right thing, they should support their colleagues who can do this). Note that half of the current Parlt doesn't understand the option exists. They have only ever party block voted. All National MPs went to the election opposed to this Bill, so they are now acting in bad faith vis a vis constituents. Acknowledging the Treaty as NZ's foundation constitutional document is one of the first paras in the National Party constitution.

There is an urgent need to revisit our constitutional framework to synchronize the expiration of the presidential term with that of the deputy president. From the moment they assume office, the deputy inevitably shifts focus towards personal political ambition, sparking premature succession campaigns. This prolonged politicking consumes valuable time—ten years that should be devoted to nation-building are squandered on endless political maneuvering. It's imperative that we address this systemic flaw to refocus national discourse on development rather than perpetual campaigns.
