Former PM Jenny Shipley is on the other end of the political spectrum from me, but her comment is spot on — Treaty Principles Bill 'inviting civil war':
"[The Treaty of Waitangi] is a relationship we committed to where we would try and find a way to govern forward. We would respect each other's land and interests rights, and we would try and be citizens together - and actually, we are making outstanding progress, and this sort of malicious, politically motivated, fundraising-motivated attempt to politicise the Treaty in a new way should raise people's voices, because it is not in New Zealand's immediate interest.
sue @Miraz my problem is she’s never apologised for the harm done under her government. She and ruth Richardson created so much inequality. She would do the same as luxon if it meant being PM
Miraz Jordan @styler Not arguing with you on that; just on this one point I agree wholeheartedly with her view.
