Our Views: Treaty Principles Bill
Nov 19, 2024
The Treaty Principles Bill is an attack on our rangatiratanga. It’s divisive and New Zealanders deserve better.
Ngāi Tahu leaders stand united in condemning the Bill. We are using our collective voice to safeguard what we’ve fought for over successive generations and to protect our future as Ngāi Tahu.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Justin Tipa and Te Rūnaka o Awarua Representative Michael Stevens presented to the Justice Committee on the Treaty Principles Bill. Click here to watch a recording of the presentation.
Read Justin Tipa's opinion piece on the Bill: Rangatiratanga not party-political.
