Firstly, the ACT Party believes that New Zealand is unique in that we have a Treaty between the indigenous people of New Zealand and the Crown, Queen Victoria, which sets out the rights and privileges of all citizens, and that we are all equal before the law. The ACT Party believes that is one of the truly unique and wonderful things about New Zealand, that founding document. We support the process—that is, to bring historical grievances to a tribunal where all of the evidence can be documented and then worked through for the purpose of achieving a settlement to deal with historical grievances, which have often held back the development—the economic and social development—of people whose lands were alienated by the Crown or by the actions of others. So it's important that we recognise that this process is vital for past grievances to be addressed and that it is one of the most important things that leads New Zealand to a place of social cohesion. For that reason, the ACT Party supports this process.
