Thomas Newman, who also appeared with Elliot Ikilei for Hobsons Pledge, explains what Treatyism is and the harm it is doing to New Zealand. A polished submission on The Treaty Principles Bill and near the end Green MP Kahurangi Carter shows her class with a dumb question which is dealt to by Chair James Meager.

Deane Jessep in another excellent submission brings a different perspective which includes reference to members of his family, who are also descendants of Te Rauparaha’s family, supporting the bill.

Thank you Whangarei Tim for isolating these submissions so they are easy for me to share.
