The panic over the Treaty bill on the left and in Maori is palatable. Seymour got what he wanted - the bill introduced. National have already said they would support it to the first reading to allow it to proceed to select committee. They will not support it beyond that. Certainly not in its current form. Neither will NZ First. So the Bill dies at select committee.
