Opinion on whether the Treaty of Waitangi should be part of the law, split by left/right voting bloc, 1996–2023. Coalition party voters are substantially more likely to support removal, with a gap of 34 percentage points between blocs in 2023.

New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi debate is increasingly partisan - left and right voters are now 34 points apart in support for removing the Treaty from law.

In my latest post, I explore what the data shows and what it means for 2026. #nzpol #tetiriti

Today’s debates about the Treaty and co-governance are shaped by how history is remembered, retold, and sometimes manipulated. Kohimarama is regularly used by right‑wing groups to argue for policies that restrict Māori rights and weaken Treaty obligations.

I counted 16 waka this morning at #Waitangi Day celebrations. An annual congress of chiefs was established here in 1835 at the signing of He Whakaputanga, even before
#tetiriti was signed in 1840.

I was at #Waitangi Treaty Grounds today, celebrating a #NewZealand that will be 186 years old this Friday. It's a day for all the people of NZ. Lovely vibe, and so many families having fun. The museum's eye-opening, I hadn't it visited before.

Māori MPs Driving the Rollback of Māori Rights and Te Tiriti By Dr Harpreet Singh | drhsinghnz.substack.com | FB: @DrHSinghNZ

The #Mãori RW bloc in #NZGovt isn’t defending Mãori rights. It’s actively dismantling them. Mãori MPs are giving political cover to policies that weaken #TeTiriti, marginalise Maori, & undermine the principles their whakapapa connects them to #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/drhsingh...?

A group of 5 people stand together. Two are wearing keffiyeh, all looking to the left, listening to someone speaking on the main stage area.

A white placard with text that reads ‘Stop all military ties with Indonesia. Free West Papua’ In the centre is a graphic of a red circle with a line through it.

A close up shot of a person folk dancing, their arms crossed and held out in front of their body. The person is laughing and happy. They are wearing a light pink hijab and brown striped long sleeved shirt. Behind them are two other people also dancing.

That’s why those working for #peace, a #freePalestine, protecting nature & protecting #TeTiriti are working together to help create an equitable & sustainable world for all.

Ngā mihi nui to all who came along to hear some great tunes, take part in free workshops, stop coal trains & enjoy free kai

Taken together, CERD’s findings show predictable and preventable harm continues for Māori, Pacific, and diverse ethnic communities, with a wide gap between government commitments & lived realities. Read, share, and discuss this report.

Two people sit on the ground, their backs visible, and in front of them a group of young people are dancing on the grass.

A person with long dark hair tied back, sunglasses and wearing a long sleeved brown shirt, is standing behind a set of decks DJing. A peace sign on purple fabric hangs from the DJ table. Behind them is a Carnival for Change banner hanging from a tree

A person wearing a black vest and black long pants is standing on a branch up a green leafy tree, arms raised above their head holding onto another branch and smiling broadly.. In the distance are people standing on the ground, chatting and smiling.

The problems we face are all interconnected. That's why those working for #peace, protecting nature & #TeTiriti & other aligned causes, are working together to help create the movement that we need to create an equitable, sustainable and just world for all 🌈✌ 💚🍉

#saveDennistonPlateau #climatecrisis

A group of people sing Christmas carols with an anti-consumerism twist. They hold a sign with a painted fern and text reading “We are Hand-Made We: Avoid plastic, Toitu Te Tiriti, Say enough is enough, Respect nature/ Ourselves, Gift handmade or reusable”

Audience members sit on the grass and intently watch a performance. One captures the moment with their phone.

A close up of a large handmade mask with dark orange skin and blue eyes. It has fabric and fake leaves drapping off of it.

A piece of white fabric has the text printed “Together against Fast Track”. The text is surrounded by a circle of small silhouettes all creatures, people, snails, flowers lizards, kiwi and stars.

✊ We will continue to stand up for peace, climate justice, a #freePalestine, to protect workers’ rights and #TeTiriti, and to protect our wild spaces like #DennistonPlateau.

Why a proposal to change the laws governing protest should worry us all If enacted into law, the Independent Police Conduct Authority's proposal could lead to a substantial erosion of fundamental democratic rights.

I would vote for a one issue party that was only about planting Te Tiriti as our founding constitutional document.

I would also vote for the TPM candidate in my electorate.

What say you @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social

Why can’t the Toitū te Tiriti movement become its own one issue political party with the only bottom line being

Constitutional change:

Te Tiriti as our founding constitutional document.

Ian Taylor: 'This surely rocks the very core of our democracy' Prime Minister, I’m beginning to wonder who’s actually running the country.

Fringe #antichoice, racist groups are having too much direct influence on our democracy. This anti-choice government is not upholding any form of democracy, but they're anti-abortion, we wouldn't expect any less. #nzpol #alranz #hobsonspledge #tetiriti

And ofc the government has already complied by removing diversity considerations re #teTiriti +climate

It's happening fast. Hopefully we still retain enough power to reverse it IF Labour as the biggest left party commits to it. #nzpol

Any major voices saying we must split from toxic US? #nzpol

I've been monitoring the school statements about Te Tiriti

Just sent the HBHS BOT an email ahead of their board meeting this week to encourage them to continue to give effect to Te Tiriti.

More than 1000 schools pledge to uphold Te Tiriti despite law change Lawyer Tania Waikato says the response is a 'grassroots backlash' to reforms.

It is to me essential for Kiwi kids, Maori AND Pakeha, to learn Maori, Maori language and lore and our common history. #TeTiriti is our founding document. It's essential for everyone.
Removing a lot of it from the curriculum is a mistake -and another blow
