New Zealand Parliament Suspended as Maori Lawmakers Perform Haka | Vantage with Palki Sharma In New Zealand,
MPs disrupted the parliament with haka to protest the indigenous treaty bill. The bill aims to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with its indigenous people. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by Maori chiefs and the British Crown. It is considered New Zealand's founding document. But the bill's proponents argue that the treaty discriminates against non-indigenous citizens. ---

New Zealand: Over 35,000 Protesters Rally Over Maori Rights Bill | Firstpost America
Tens of thousands of protesters gathered outside New Zealand's Parliament in one of the largest rallies in the country's history. The demonstration opposes the Treaty Principles Bill, a controversial proposal to narrow interpretations of the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 between the British Crown and Maori community leaders.
Critics argue the bill threatens to erase decades of progress on Maori rights and deepen racial divides.
Chants of "Kill the bill!" echoed as demonstrators performed the Haka and presented a 203,653-signature petition.
Last week, 22-year-old MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke made headlines by tearing up the bill in Parliament and performing Haka, sparking nationwide attention and fuelling the backlash.
What is the new Treaty Principles Bill?
The Treaty Principles Bill would give all New Zealanders equality before the law, so that we can go forward as one people with one set of rights. “I am looking forward to this important national conversation about the place of the Treaty in our constitutional arrangements.”

Treaty Principles Bill passes first reading
Associate Justice Minister David Seymour says all New Zealanders will now be able to have their say on the Treaty Principles Bill after it passed its first reading and was sent to the Justice Committee to be considered.
“I believe all New Zealanders deserve tino rangatiratanga – the right to self-determination. That all human beings are alike in dignity. The Treaty Principles Bill would give all New Zealanders equality before the law, so that we can go forward as one people with one set of rights.
“I am looking forward to this important national conversation about the place of the Treaty in our constitutional
arrangements.”
The Treaty Principles
ACT believes every child born in New Zealand deserves the same respect and dignity, including equality before the law.
The Treaty Principles Bill would restore the mana of our founding document by ensuring it delivers what it originally promised in 1840: nga tikanga katoa rite tahi – the same rights and duties for all New Zealanders.
The three Treaty Principles proposed in the Bill are based on the three Articles of the Treaty.
Principle 1: Civil Government
The Government of New Zealand has full power to govern, and Parliament has full power to make laws. They do so in the best interests of everyone, and in accordance with the rule of law and the maintenance of a free and democratic society.
Principle 2: Rights of Hapū and Iwi Māori
The Crown recognises, and will respect and protect, the rights that hapū and iwi Māori had under the Treaty of Waitangi at the time they signed it. If those rights differ from the rights of everyone, it will only be when agreed in the settlement of a historical treaty claim under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.
Principle 3: Right to Equality
Everyone is equal before the law and is entitled to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. Everyone is entitled to the equal enjoyment of the same fundamental human rights without discrimination.
A Treaty Principles Bill
The Government has introduced a Bill that will seek to define in law the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi.
The Government has agreed to introduce a Treaty Principles Bill and support it to the select committee stage.
The proposed Bill is based on an ACT Party policy as agreed on in its coalition agreement with the National Party.
The Bill was introduced on 7 November 2024. Its intention is to create certainty about what the Treaty principles are and how they apply in New Zealand law.
The Bill received its first reading on 14 November 2024 has been referred to Parliament’s Justice Committee for consideration. It will also be an opportunity for the public to give feedback.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi is a founding document of New Zealand and is fundamental to our constitutional arrangements. The Treaty Principles Bill aims to provide an opportunity to build consensus around the place of the Treaty principles in our constitutional and legal arrangements.
The work on this Bill is being led by the Ministry of Justice.
