treaty principles bill

Bianca Ranson criticised the bill as risking Aotearoa’s economic and social stability, calling it a waste of time and energy.

It reveals the finalised proposed principles by which David Seymour wants Aotearoa to interpret the Treaty - and the question he'd ask Aotearoa.

This comes after the Act’s Leader David Seymour’s controversial Treaty Principles Bill is being introduced into Parliament later today, although the original date was November 18.

There has been an immediate reaction to the coalition government's early introduction of the Treaty Principles Bill.

The legislation is being introduced to Parliament today - more than a week earlier than expected - and will be read for the first time next week.

The Prime Minister has confirmed he won’t be in the country during the first reading of the Treaty Principles Bill next Thursday.

A new comedic advertising campaign suggests the bill is culturally embarrassing and belongs in the 1970s.

Te Ao Māori News spoke to three political commentators to see who they believed won Tuesday night's debate.

Centred on the Treaty and how it should be interpreted in modern-day Aotearoa, the debate will pit Seymour and Modlik against each other at 8pm tonight.

A conservative estimate suggests it will cost about $4 million to progress the controversial, and doomed, Treaty Principles Bill to a second reading at Parliament.
