"An iwi leader described the [current conservative] coalition government [of New Zealand] as "the most racist, anti-Māori government ever", while experts warned the proposed Treaty reforms could be the widest breach of Te Tiriti in decades."

To come to the table before decisions are made, not after," he said. #nzpol #education #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti #enrol #vote #EnrolAndVote
