ELIAS GAVE MEANING TO TREATY PRINCIPLES Justice Minister Andrew Little says retiring Supreme Court Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias has made a huge contribution to the restoring the mana of the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand’s law and unwritten constitution. When Acts of Parliament refer to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, she hasn't thrown up her hands and said 'we don't know what that means so we will ignore it.'

In 1st world countries it is illegal to reinterpret and alter the meaning of a document/contract/treaty.
But in 3rd world racist NZ, the maori can and do whatever they want thanks to a bunch of traitors and spineless oxygen thieves that masquerade as "politicians".
