The Treaty Principles Bill being introduced today and the nationwide hīkoi for Te Tiriti w/ the University of Auckland’s Professor Margaret Mutu and Eru Kapa Kingi: 7th November, 2024

Earlier this week the Government announced that it would introduce the controversial Treaty Principles Bill today, over a week earlier than its original date for introduction on November 18th. 

The Bill has received much criticism, with a nationwide hīkoi in protest planned for next week to coincide with its introduction.

Producer Sofia spoke to Te Tiriti o Waitangi expert, Professor Margaret Mutu (Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Whātua), from the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Arts, as well as lecturer at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Law and spokesperson for and organiser of Toitū te Tiriti, Eru Kapa Kingi (Te Aupōuri, Ngāpuhi, Waikato-Tainui, and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), about the Bill and the nationwide hīkoi that coincides with it.
