The Greens speak to the problem with the bill somewhat.
Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson on Waka Jumping Bill: We have to compromise
If National hadn't been so brutal for the people the Greens are most concerned about, maybe they'd have a choice. I suppose you might argue if they were more canny politicians they would have found a way to oppose the bill. But circumstances are what they are.
Still, it would be good to hear more on the bill from the fullas here smart enough to have lectured at uni.
