The Workplace Relations Minister says changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act are on track, despite mixed signals from New Zealand First.
Leader Winston Peters says he’s obliged to vote for the bill under the coalition agreement but is vowing to get rid of it next term.
He told protesters yesterday —including families of Pike River victims— he wishes he didn't have to vote for the legislation.
Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking Peters knows what the deal is, and the changes have been discussed over the past two years.
She says it's gone through the select committee process and the policy's been signed off, so isn't sure why criticism has reared its head.
