Consultation, my arse. This government is trying to turn te Tiriti into that "nullity" they wish it was. Roll on November and vote them OUT!

'Protest group Te Waka Hourua redacted the English text of the Treaty of Waitangi, which hung across from Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the ‘Signs of a Nation’ exhibit at Te Papa, in 2023.
The Crown has dropped all charges against the man accused of damaging a Treaty of Waitangi exhibit at Te Papa Tongarewa, in 2023.
Te Wehi Ratana, 31, from Nelson, was facing two charges of obstruction of police, and intentionally damaging an art installation, when the group, Te Waka Hourua, entered the museum and used spray paint and a power tool to damage the exhibit.
Ratana’s charges were dropped on Tuesday after his defence lawyer, Julia Spelman, had given the Crown a draft of a defence expert’s evidence for the future trial.
The judge was told the Crown Solicitor decided it was not in the public interest to proceed despite their thoughts the prosecution had evidence to prove both charges.'

Hi Ulan, the post is simply a link to the newspaper page displaying the cartoon published by the NZ Herald newspaper.
If you’re interested in the subject of the #NZPol government threatening the founding document of #Aotearoa #NewZealand #TeTiritiOWaitangi which is a treaty signed by a majority of #Māori rangatira (chiefs) and the British Crown to grant the right of British people to settle in NZ. Some other hashtags you could use to find out more are #TreatyPrinciplesBill #DavidSeymour #AtlasNetwork #Act #ToitūTeTiriti #TePātiMāori #TreatyOfWaitangi #Haka -
So do you suppose David Seymour's #Act Party were so keen to have Te Pāti Māori MP's jailed for performing a #haka because they didn't want them present as Seymour & Act attempt to rush their undemocratic and treacherous #RegulatoryStandardsBill through parliament under urgency?
Regardless of whether you support or oppose this treasonous bill, the dismantling of constitutional and democratic parliamentary process should alarm all #NZTwits. Perhaps #DavidSeymour sees this as a way of guaranteeing his ambition of bringing about a #CivilWar in #Aotearoa #NewZealand. #NZPol #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti

"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment
#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"
The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights
The bill was defeated
I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

CW: NZPol Te Tiriti signing
"This is a narrative of the speeches at the Treaty of Waitangi signings in Waitangi, Hokianga and Kaitāia. The words are not in quotes as they are not verbatim and instead have been edited to be accessible to a wider audience. This means some details have been omitted, condensed or rephrased with modern terminology. "

Unprecedented number of submissions on Treaty Principles Bill, Denise Garland, Senior Journalist, Radio New Zealand
Public submissions close today, don't miss out on providing a view on an important constitutional change being proposed

Although I'm heartened to see such strong opposition to the Treaty Principles bill, I wonder whether the bill's introduction is just the beginning of a long campaign by right wingers. I'm horribly reminded of the beginnings of the Brexit movement in the UK.
I also wonder if this bill is purely the product of the Act party, or if it has not been nourished by think tanks and donors on the North American right. Not only has "semi-aligned" New Zealand long been a thorn in the flesh of the US right, but the undermining of the Treaty of Waitangi might provide a model and incentive for the sabotage of treaties with indigenous peoples in North America.

If you want to know what a second term for the Dear Leader would do to Native people in the US, the actions of the right-wing government in Aotearoa/New Zealand are a good guide.
' Many Māori leaders say [proposed changes to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi] would amount to a modern-day confiscation of treaty rights and prioritise those who already hold power. '
