ACT Wants to Disestablish the Waitangi Tribunal... Here’s What That Means

The ACT party wants to wind back the Waitangi Tribunal’s mandate, cutting off claims lodged after 2008 and taking away its ability to scrutinise what the government is doing now.

So, what would that actually mean for Māori?

Chey, Kereama, Hinurewa and our manuhiri Tai Ahu talk through the proposal alongside Te Whānau-ā-Apanui’s “agree to disagree” position on sovereignty, and the Tribunal’s finding that Ngāpuhi rangatira did not cede sovereignty in 1840.

If the Tribunal’s powers are stripped back, who holds the Crown to account?

He kaupapa nui tēnei!
