New Zealand's PM open to meeting protesters against Treaty Principles Bill, split over conscience voting.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is open to meeting protesters against the Treaty Principles Bill, which clarifies the Treaty of Waitangi. While his National Party supports the bill at the select committee stage, they won't back it further. The Green Party's Chlöe Swarbrick demands a conscience vote for MPs, criticizing the bill as unfair and developed in secret. She claims 100,000 are protesting, arguing the bill could be rejected if MPs vote based on personal beliefs.
