This is the perfect example of a party that’s morally unfit to govern.
National have taken a cross party policy largely developed by Labour and Greens and, despite universal support in the House, have decided to hold up the policy becoming law in this term, instead, deciding to use their support for the bill as an election promise for their next term should they be reelected.
The fact that National has refused to allow a vote on a universally supported bill for its own personal benefit should make every NZer take note of who Chris Luxon and his colleagues are in government to serve, and that is themselves.
Good on Chris Hipkins for calling them out on putting their party ahead of the public interest. #NZPol #NeverTrustATory

Update on the immoral #NZNational Party. Today in the House, Labour MP Camilla Belich,.who is the author of the sexual consent legislation, requested that the bill be heard in the House tomorrow during Members Bill readings but National refused claiming the Bill declaring the English language an official language of #Aotearoa #NewZealand was more important. #NZPol https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics/759516/govt-prioritising-language-law-change-over-consent-law-reform-labour
