David Seymour: ACT Party Leader on the Treaty Principles Bill being voted down in its second reading

Act Leader David Seymour doesn't regret spearheading the Treaty Principles Bill. 

The widely unpopular bill was voted down by all but its own MPs at its second reading yesterday.  

MPs called it racist, divisive, ugly, grubby, and an assault on history and rights.  

Seymour told Mike Hosking he's standing up for equal human rights. 

He says the Crown has an obligation to uphold all people’s rights, including Māori, and we are all equal before the law.
