By Dr Peter Winsley I support the Bill, despite its weaknesses. For expositional clarity, in my submission I use the term “te Tiriti” rather than “the Treaty.” This acknowledges that about 540 rangatira signed te Tiriti versus about 39 who signed the English language document.to a Context is important. Te Tiriti was an international treaty […]
