Supplementary Order Paper 168 amends Part 1 to recognise our people's tino rangatiratanga. It does this by inserting a new clause that requires the legislation to uphold the tino rangatiratanga of tangata whenua in Aotearoa. It also replaces all references to the Treaty principles with references to the articles of the Treaty. For legislation to be compliant with Te Tiriti o Waitangi it must implement the actual text of the agreement that was signed in 1840—the articles which include the reaffirmation of the tino rangatiratanga of hapū and iwi. References to the Treaty principles in law have been used to water down the Crown's commitments to its relationship with tangata whenua. Te Tiriti o Waitangi was a contractual agreement, not a statement of principles. We must not allow the Crown to pretend otherwise.
