Quote:
A report by the attorney general found (the Bill) limits the right to be free from discrimination and cannot be justified.
Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson told Morning Report that while he voted for it in the first round of the parliamentary process, serious issues had now emerged and it would have to be paused and reassessed.
"It's got significant issues that I think would make it difficult to support but now we go away and have another look at it, talk to the council and see where we go from there."

Note: the Attorney-General who has just realised that the Bill would breach the Bill of Rights Act had also already voted in support of it at the first reading.
Summary: Labour sucks at laws
