The death knell was sounded for the Treaty Principles Bill at its second - and final - reading this week.
All parties except ACT voted against the bill, with 11 votes in favour and 112 against.
The bill, which sought to redefine the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi sparked a nationwide hikoi and resulted in approximately 300 thousand public submissions being sent to the select committee.
90 percent of which were opposed, eight percent supported the bill and two percent were unsure.
But that is by no means the end of it - according to the bills architect, ACT leader David Seymour.
