"... NZ First leader Winston Peters described it as a "low-quality deal" and was withholding his support.

His party exercised the agree to disagree provision of its coalition arrangements when Cabinet approval for the deal was sought last week, and made it clear that it would vote against enabling legislation if and when it was introduced to Parliament."

Well isn't that interesting. They can "agree to disagree" on a trade treaty, but not the RSB 馃

Labour won't say if it'll back India free trade deal, says it's a 'good step forward'

However, the opposition party isn't saying whether it will back the deal if and when it is introduced to Parliament.

Got to love how news media report extensively the party political drama surrounding these trade treaties, but never seem to report the details of them. What's been offered or given up by each side, and why? Surely those are the most important details of the story.
