The Treaty of Waitangi's principles have evolved over five decades to uphold Maori rights, serving as a crucial framework in the relationship between Maori and the Crown.
David Seymour argues that the bill aims to clarify the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, which he claims provide Maori with different rights, calling for a definitive interpretation.
Critics assert that the proposed bill undermines long-established treaty principles, posing a threat to Maori rights and promoting anti-Maori sentiment within New Zealand.
Public outrage against the bill has surged, exemplified by a nine-day hikoi involving thousands, cumulatively showcasing the widespread opposition among New Zealanders.
