#waitangi — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.davidslack.net/glossary-entry/?slug=treaty-of-waitangi is a detailed statement about the #Treaty of #Waitangi and what is wrong with the main objections to the honouring of it.

https://e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-analysis/te-tiriti-duplicity-honoured-abroad-but-dismissed-at-home/ :
'#Aotearoa is facing its sharpest constitutional crisis in modern history, as the government professes adherence to Te Tiriti abroad while dismantling it at home, writes international legal practitioner Nicola #Hoobin.'

'In signing the landmark New Zealand-#India Free #Trade Agreement in April this year, the current #coalition #government exported the #Treaty yet again, embedding a dedicated “Cultural, Traditional Knowledge and Economic Cooperation Chapter” that requires all actions to be executed in a “manner consistent with the Treaty of #Waitangi”.
'.....the contradiction it presents to domestic strategy creates a fatal blind spot.
'In New Zealand public law, courts frequently look to international treaties signed by the executive as extrinsic evidence to interpret the scope of the Crown’s fiduciary obligations.
'So, for example, if #iwi launch #judicial #reviews against the rollbacks of the 19 targeted #statutes — which cover critical resource management, #biosecurity, and primary #industries — the #FTA texts become powerful legal levers.
'The Crown cannot easily look a High Court judge in the eye and argue that statutory Treaty obligations are vague, unworkable, or a threat to democratic certainty when the executive branch has formally executed international documents telling the UK and EU the exact opposite.
'The explicit acknowledgments in the EU and UK agreements effectively block the Crown from downplaying the constitutional status of Te Tiriti in a domestic courtroom.
'This inescapable double standard shifts the ultimate burden of accountability from global panels directly onto our domestic judiciary.
'Will the New Zealand courts now hold the Crown strictly accountable for its own #international admissions, enforcing the principle that a sovereign government can’t legally define Te Tiriti as a cornerstone of our constitution to the rest of the world while treating it as entirely disposable at home?...'

The #Waitangi Treaty Grounds are the location where, in 1840, the #Maori and British signed the document that created the New Zealand that we know today. Admission is expensive, but definitely worth it. Have you been there? #NewZealand https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Paihia/#waitangi

Do we know who is going to be responsible for writing the NZ citizenship test?

I believe it should be a non partisan group organised and agreed to by representatives of the original parties that agreed to the #Aotearoa #NewZealand founding document #TeTiritiOWaitangi and that would be the NZ Governor General who represents the #British Crown and a #Māori representative group made up of members from the #Waitangi Tribunal, Urban Māori Authority and Iwi Runanga (Tribal Councils).

There should also be public consultation and input into citizenship test before making any final decision. #NZPol

Would those people who reject kura kaupapa and giving effect in #education to the treaty of #Waitangi also say that flying a #NewZealand flag is the government's responsibility and it should not happen in schools? See it all depends, literally, on what you stand for. #nzpol #aotearoa https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/04/new-zealand-maori-culture-school-classrooms-government-scraps-rules

Des députés #maoris sont menacés d’une expulsion temporaire du Parlement néo-zélandais, après avoir interrompu une séance par une danse #haka en novembre pour s’opposer à projet de loi sur les #peuplesautochtones du pays.
Le texte réinterprétait le traité de #Waitangi signé il y a presque 200 ans entre les Maoris de #NouvelleZélande & les colons européens, considéré comme le traité fondateur du pays il démantelait des programmes destinés aux citoyens maoris
