Democratic or dangerous: What you need to know about developments with the Treaty Principles Bill
Description
ACT’s push for a Treaty Principles Bill was a lightning rod throughout last year’s election campaign and has never been far from the headlines since. This week has seen significant developments - the principles released with changed wording, the select committee ‘debate’ period set for six months and official advice criticising the plan revealed. But ACT leader David Seymour is unmoved. On this week’s pod he tells us why - and why he maintains the Prime Minister could still support the bill. Then, Te Pāti Māori Treaty spokesperson Tākuta Ferris explains the depth of opposition from te iwi Māori, and forecasts an escalation in protests.
The much-talked about "tightest race in US election history" never eventuated as Donald Trump and his Republican Party swept back into power, comprehensively defeating Kamala Harris and the Democrats to become the 47th president of the United States of America.
