It's thought the Government's 'Māori Issue' will be its biggest hurdle this year. 

Parliament sits for the first time this year today and the coalition parties will resume their 100 Day Action Plan. 

Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper told Mike Hosking that Chris Luxon probably made David Seymour the Associate Justice Minister to try to distance the Nats from ACT's proposed Treaty Principles Bill. 

He believes it's too late. 

Soper says National agreed to it in coalition agreements, and why they'd do that but only back it to Select Committee is beyond him.
