David Seymour, via his Treaty Principle’s Bill, is calling the country back to the original intention and meaning of the Treaty. I support David and his Bill. However, I have a caveat. I would prefer the wording in his original 3 principles which was: 1. that the New Zealand Government has the right to govern all New Zealanders; 2. the New Zealand Government will honour all New Zealanders in the chieftainship of their land and all their property; 3. and that all New Zealanders are equal under the law with the same rights and duties. Seymour was forced by Luxon and his cabinet to change these original 3 principles so they now read as follows (these are what I call the revised 3 principles). What are we to make of this revised wording in light of what the Treaty actually says and means?
