Some may struggle to fully grasp this due to limited exposure to education or lack of experiences/travel, they perhaps don't see shared goals, their thinking never been challenged etc or maybe since childhood they ve been told they either a victim or a villain, you're either a colonizer or colonized, and on the one hand, you're a bad person who's perhaps got ill-gotten gains or privilege or whatever. and you should fight to take back what's yours (I personally know one).

In short, it isn't. It's just the small elite minority are lying to the public saying that the principles bill will "rewrite" the treaty, whereas in the bill itself, it states it will uphold and respect the treaty and also the Treaty of Waitangi Act of 1975. It literally just states that there is to be one government (the one that is voted in) and that all will be equal under the law and said government has the right to create laws. The main argument against the bill is they are wanting equity, rather than equality. Maori will probably lose alot of the preferential treatment they receive with Healthcare, Dental, Education, Scholarships etc.. and have to be on the same level playing field as everyone else that call NZ Aotearoa home. Hope this helps.

[@qqszad]

the main point is its removing the part about moari being allies with the crown, moari agreed to let the crown setup a goverment if they also had a say. a key point in the treaty was guarantee of moari protection of there lands, this part was as you know broken and why tribes got some money. act founders have tried to sell large fresh water supply's off to china but moari got in the way. this change will mean moari will have no extra say on the sale of land. like everything its always about money.

The second article states, The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes and to all the people of New Zealand the full possession of their lands, their homes and all their possessions… The third article states, Her Majesty the Queen of England extends to the Natives of New Zealand Her Royal Protection, and imparts to them all the rights and privileges of British subjects.” The Treaty of Waitangi was drafted in English by James Busby, the first British Resident of New Zealand, under the instructions of Captain William Hobson, who had been tasked by Lord Normanby, (Britain’s secretary of state for the colonies), to gain freely given Maori recognition of British sovereignty over New Zealand. The final English draft was translated into Maori by missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward, who were fluent te reo speakers, having lived amongst the tribes for 17 years. Henry then had a crucial role in explaining it to the chiefs who met Captain Hobson at Waitangi on 5 February. The terms of the Treaty are contained in three simple articles. The texts herein are James Busby’s February 4 text and Te Tiriti, the Maori language text. Te Tiriti was the only version present on the 6 February 1840, and was the text signed by the vast majority of chiefs around the country. The Maori language text is virtually identical in all respects to the James Busby final draft, except for the date, and the insertion of the word ‘maori’ in Article third. Busby February 4, 1840, draft (commonly known as the Littlewood Treaty) Article first The chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes and the other chiefs who have not joined the confederation, cede to the Queen of England for ever the entire Sovreignty [sic] of their country. Article second The Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the chiefs and the tribes and to all the people of New Zealand, the possession of their lands, dwellings and all their property. But the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes and the other chiefs grant to the Queen, the exclusive rights of purchasing such lands as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to sell at such prices as may be agreed upon between them and the person appointed by the Queen to purchase from them. Article third In return for the cession of their Sovreignty [sic] to the Queen, the people of New Zealand shall be protected by the Queen of England and the rights and privileges of British subjects will be granted to them. Signed, William Hobson Consul and Lieut. Governor. Now we the chiefs of the Confederation of United Tribes of New Zealand assembled at Waitangi, and we the other tribes of New Zealand, having understood the meaning of these articles, accept them and agree to them all. In witness whereof our names or marks are affixed. Done at Waitangi on the 4th of February, 1840. This is the maori translation Ko te tuarua Ko te Kuini o Ingarani ka wakarite ka wakaae ki nga Rangitira ki nga hapu - ki nga tangata katoa o Nu Tirani te tino rangatiratanga o o ratou wenua o ratou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa. Otiia ko nga Rangatira o te wakaminenga me nga Rangatira katoa atu ka tuku ki te Kuini te hokonga o era wahi wenua e pai ai te tangata nona te Wenua - ki te ritenga o te utu e wakaritea ai e ratou ko te kai hoko e meatia nei e te Kuini hei kai hoko mona. Ko te tuatoru Hei wakaritenga mai hoki tenei mo te wakaaetanga ki te Kawanatanga o te Kuini - Ka tiakina e te Kuini o Ingarani nga tangata maori katoa o Nu Tirani ka tukua ki a ratou nga tikanga katoa rite tahi ki ana mea ki nga tangata o Ingarani. (signed) William Hobson, Consul and Lieutenant-Governor. Na ko matou ko nga Rangatira o te Wakaminenga o nga hapu o Nu Tirani ka huihui nei ki Waitangi ko matou hoki ko nga Rangatira o Nu Tirani ka kite nei i te ritenga o enei kupu, ka tangohia ka wakaaetia katoatia e matou, koia ka tohungia ai o matou ingoa o matou tohu. Ka meatia tenei ki Waitangi i te ono o nga ra o Pepueri i te tau kotahi mano, e waru rau e wa te kau o to tatou Ariki.

That treaty looks very well and fairly written . Once accepted and signed It is the Treaty

[@정바름-p4f]

you got my vote in next election ACT. as always. love the idea!

[@kaylangawhare3798]

Sorry but you should really look into the history of this country, the treaty of waitangi and what the crown did to maori and have been doing for years its not just about rights its taking away maori rights and sovereignty aswell

[@lisac1619]

​@@kaylangawhare3798I think you're confused about the Treaty. Have a re-read. Maori aren't mentioned once, and Queen Victoria certainly didn't go into partnership with the Maori chiefs.

[@moniquebode1655]

​@@kaylangawhare3798 Most NZers are sick of it and just want to move on. It's victim mentality to live in the past. It was just about 200yrs ago. The Govt over the years have given and given. When is redress ever enough. That's why TPM are marching and protesting. They don't want Govt handouts to stop. As a country we are broke. Is this what Msori want?

If Maori have the right to govern themselves why has not a single government given them that right?

[@logicalanswer3529]

Because then they would not be entailed to any tax payer money from New Zealanders. Nor would they be entitled to anything that taxpayer money provides.

[@ianevans3525]

Were would the money come from to pay them to govern them selves the maori king said it was a shit idea

[@lulunz6809]

Because it was already agreed to. Why are you not listening?

[@qqszad]

we have a bill of rights that says everything David said here. Treaty of Waitangi is a very different thing. what he is trying to do is remove the Treaty by replacing it with something we already have.

[@lulunz6809]

Clearly he has written the Bill in order to mislead people and cause division. A lot of people won't take the time to learn about the Treaty and will act on what David has said because they think he knows what he is talking about. He has misled people and the division is happening.

[@lulunz6809]

​@@qqszad His behaviour is disturbing to me as he is acting like he doesn't understand why Maori are upset and were challenging the submission of the Bill before it happened. The irony of it is so obvious. Te Tiriti and its principal's are already in place. He breached that agreement to write the bill and he was deliberate about it.

[@qqszad]

@@lulunz6809 david not responding to them. he trying to frame it for clips like this. he trying to change the messaging around it. he is presented with a full argument of why his bill makes no sense and is wrong, then he turns around and starts talking about how no one is debating him on this "good idea"
