It's highly disingenuous to say that without also noting that this bill passed 116 to 5, and the most vocal critic came from the right side of the house. I oppose the bill as well, but we shouldn't pretend that National is solely at fault for it.

Agreed but that is my point. National has diverged completely from its roots as a classical liberal party.

National has never really been a classical liberal party. Muldoon ran some of the most interventionist economic policy in NZ history, and Bolger and Shipley passed the Resource Management Act. In recent times only ACT has really been classically liberal, but even that is a bit shaky.
