These amendments, for the most part, are straightforward, uncontroversial, and aim to clear up some areas that have resulted in uncertainty. These amendments are so straightforward and uncontroversial that it begs the question: why were these missed from the principal Act to being with? For example, take the provision that proposes to specify the five education agencies that must comply with the statement of expectations relating to the Treaty of Waitangi issues. These agencies were not named in the principal Act, so the uncertainty that followed is understandable. ACT voted against the principal legislation, with the worries about the possible consequences that could arise from the rushed way that such an extensive piece of legislation was brought about. One could argue that the need for these amendments is an expected consequence of rushing legislation.
