Government accused of TPP gamesmanship

Publish Date

The Government's being accused of gamesmanship over the way it intends progressing legislation on the TPP deal.

Labour had intended to vote for aspects of the enabling legislation they liked, but against those they opposed when TPP related legislation comes before Parliament.

But it now looks as if they won't get the chance with the Government structuring the Bill so it's a yes or no proposition.

Andrew Little says he wouldn't be surprised at all if it was an attempt by National to box his party in.

He says this is not a Government that's about having a genuine debate, this is a game-playing Government.
