💨 Abstract

New Zealand's center-right government has introduced a bill to reinterpret the Treaty of Waitangi, a founding agreement with Indigenous Maori groups, sparking protests. The Treaty Principles Bill aims to define the treaty's principles, provide clarity, and debate its role in constitutional arrangements. Critics argue it undermines Maori rights, while proponents claim current court interpretations are meddling in political and constitutional matters.
