In my letter of resignation, I have recommended the government implement its coalition agreement and upgrade the tribunal by appointing a senior High Court judge, as was done when the tribunal was first set up.
The tribunal insults the chiefs when it says the chiefs did not mean to accept the Crown’s protection, create a nation, protect their property rights and extend citizenship to all Māori.
I will not participate in turning the Treaty into a socialist manifesto.
Ignoring the issue is not the answer. It is time for the prime minister to lead and uphold that there is one Treaty, one country and one citizenship.
