    Finally an assessment of the Bill based on its merits. With the
    controversy over the Treaty Principles Bill, it is reasonable to
    expect that a vociferous minority will automatically oppose any
    legislation put forward by ACT.

    Prof Chaudhuri seems to be an eminent scholar with no discernable
    political agenda.

    ACT sponsered Bills are a review of the present situation and a necessary correction suggested. This should allow debate of the contents of the Bill
    and be "tuned" to what the public accepts.

    However in these days the messenger gets all the fire and the whole lot gets totally political, which is a not satisfactory.

    The author has point forward some points to ponder. Going by the present situation the those that opose the Bill do so only on the messenger, who
    they see as far, right. In this case ACT. It would seem that the left are unable to think the Bill's case though, or are unwilling to do so.

    Boith unable and unwilling. You don't have to be very bright to get elected to parliament, the Greens TPM and Labour have amply demonstrated that.
