Summary
This week in Parliament, the governments attempts to appoint new members to the Electoral Commission and push through legislation faced resistance from the opposition. The Greens and Te Pāti Māori opposed the appointments due to insufficient consultation and concerns about the candidates understanding of Te Tiriti and Tikanga Māori. The opposition also used procedural tactics to slow down the legislative process, including debating hundreds of amendments to an education bill, causing a significant delay.
