The Waitangi tribunal released it's first take on the government's Treaty Principles Bill and it doesn't like it.  The tribunal says it's unfair and discriminatory - and should be abandoned.  The prime minister has already pushed back, saying it's a coalition commitment with Act to pursue the bill to first reading.  Former Waitangi tribunal historian, Dr Sam Carpenter told Heather du Plessis-Allan it may cause confusion in the existing law and how principles are understood.   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
