Labour's questioning the Government's decision to bring forward the introduction of the Treaty Principles Bill.
The bill was introduced to the House yesterday ahead of its first reading next week.
If adopted, it would set treaty principles into law to be used when interpreting legislation.
Labour's Justice Spokesperson, Duncan Webb, told Ryan Bridge that introducing the bill 11 days earlier than expected appears to have been a strategic move.
Webb says introducing it during US election week has helped keep it on the "low down".
