WE DON’T BELIEVE TREATY OF WAITANGI IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN RACES - DAVID SEYMOUR
We don’t believe the Treaty is a partnership between races, or a partnership between Māori and the Crown, because we believe our universal humanity comes first, and race second. If the Treaty affords rights, it should afford the same rights and duties to all. In fact, that is exactly what the Treaty’s third article says.
Those who (wrongly) accuse Act of “rewriting the Treaty” or “messing with the Treaty” need to remember the partnership principle is a relatively new invention. It is only in the past 40 years that “partnership” has emerged. In that time, a combination of the Waitangi Tribunal, the courts and the public service have been reinterpreting the Treaty as that partnership. The logical conclusion is that some New Zealanders are in partnership with the Crown and others are not. Different rights based on ancestry.....
