United Future opposes introduction of Supreme Court Bill
United Future New Zealand leader, Peter Dunne, announced today the United Future caucus had decided to oppose the introduction of the Supreme Court Bill, which aims to cut New Zealand’s links to the Privy Council.
“This is a major constitutional change,” he said, “and therefore we believe it requires a significant public debate involving all New Zealanders.”
The caucus will ask the Government to postpone the introduction of the Bill for 12 months to allow that debate to take place.
