    Can any New Zealander explain what the treaty is about exactly and what’s the law their protesting ?

    • @patxilaskurain2184
      @patxilaskurain2184 2 місяці тому +11

      1. "The New Zealand Government has the right to govern all New Zealanders." What’s missing? The Māori text of Te Tiriti uses the term "kāwanatanga," which refers to governance but not in a way that overrides Māori tino rangatiratanga (absolute chieftainship). The English version, however, uses "sovereignty," which has historically caused confusion and breaches of the Treaty. This wording reinforces the idea of unilateral Crown authority, undermining the partnership and shared governance that Te Tiriti intended to establish. 2. "The New Zealand Government will honour all New Zealanders in the chieftainship of their land and all their property." What’s missing? This interpretation significantly alters the meaning of tino rangatiratanga. In Te Tiriti, Māori retained absolute authority over their lands, homes, and treasures (taonga). The bill’s wording suggests the government will merely "honour" this authority, which is far weaker than the original guarantee. It diminishes the distinct rights promised to Māori and ignores the cultural and historical significance of taonga. 3. "All New Zealanders are equal under the law with the same rights and duties." What’s missing? Equality is important, but this interpretation oversimplifies the nuanced promise of Te Tiriti. Article 3 guaranteed Māori the same rights as British subjects in addition to their existing rights as tangata whenua. The bill flattens this relationship, ignoring historical breaches and the inequities Māori have faced. True equity often requires tailored approaches to address systemic injustices, rather than a blanket approach that treats everyone as though the playing field is already level. The Bigger Issue: The bill centralizes the power to define Te Tiriti’s principles in the hands of politicians, excluding Māori voices from interpreting their own treaty rights. This undermines the spirit of Te Tiriti, which was founded on partnership, protection, and participation. By sidelining Māori input, the bill risks eroding the rights guaranteed under the Treaty and creating further division, rather than fostering the mutual respect and collaboration it promised.

      @danmacalpinbruce2555 If you care about equality of rights and responsibility... all who support the Bill need to do a couple important things first.
      Over 26,000 Hectares of Maori Land locked in perpetual leases right now. Maori owners not allowed to charge Fair market rates and make a Fair income for over 100 years.
      Thousands of acres of Maori Land on 99 year leases. Many not paying a Fair lease rate (many not paying anything) for decades now, which is reason enough to break lease. Some say 'but look at the improvements I have made' but you haven't paid a Fair Lease fee for decades, viewing it just as 'Maori Land'. Take the buildings and move onto other Land where you get Free or extremely low lease rates.
      Fair Treatment? Equality? These Lease agreements are modern day scamming and theft over a span of 50,60,70,80,90,100 plus years.

Many do not have any Maori friends (they maybe have 1), and do not mix in circles with Maori in it.
