Encourage Government to Reconsider the Treaty Principles Bill


Encourage Government to Reconsider the Treaty Principles Bill
The issue
The Treaty Principles Bill, as it stands, appears to disregard the spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi - the founding document of our nation. This document, signed in 1840, symbolizes a unique partnership between Māori and the Crown, highlighting mutual respect, cooperation, and protection. However, the implementation of this new Bill threatens to disturb these decades-old principles. We must remember that these principles aren't just historical facts, they form the backbone of our society and directly impact the current and future socio-political landscape.
Therefore, we implore the government to re-evaluate the proposed Treaty Principles Bill. It should be reminded that any legislation that undermines these pivotal partnership principles endangers the socio-cultural harmony we’ve achieved over the years. Please join this cause and sign this petition today.
