Bill to rewrite Indigenous rights brings tens of thousands of protesters to New Zealand's parliament
💨 Abstract
New Zealand held a massive protest of tens of thousands against a bill seen as diluting Maori rights. The Treaty Principles Bill, introduced by the ACT New Zealand party, aims to reinterpret the 184-year-old Treaty of Waitangi, which opponents believe would reverse decades of policies empowering Maori. The bill lacks support to pass, but critics fear it signals a desire to undo past efforts.
