ai generated text

The Treaty Principles Bill is a bill introduced by the ACT New Zealand party to define the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, with the support of the National Party. The bill aims to redefine the meaning of "tino rangatiratanga" as property rights, rather than self-determination, and does not mention Māori or the Crown in its language. A poll in October 2024 found that 45% of respondents supported the bill, while 25% opposed it and 29% were unsure. The bill has been criticized by Māori leaders and scholars for its alleged racist motivations and for undermining co-governance arrangements.learn more on wikipedia
