Te Tiriti Under Urgency: What You Need to Know

Something for the People

About

Three Te Tiriti-related bills under urgency. So, what actually happened?




Last week, Parliament pushed three bills through their first readings under urgency that would change how Te Tiriti o Waitangi is referenced across New Zealand legislation. Including repealing some references, standardising others, and changing the strength of some Treaty obligations.




So what does that mean in practice? And what could it mean for Māori?




Chey, Kereama and Hinurewa are joined by Tai Ahu, Tumuaki at Whāia Legal, to break down what happened, why it matters, and what we can do about it.
