The Government's controversial Treaty Principles Bill is once again in the spotlight as the Waitangi Tribunal's urgent inquiry into the policy enters the second day in Wellington.
It follows widespread opposition to the Bill, which seeks to redefine the Treaty principles using ACT's interpretation of the three articles.
Claimants and interested parties behind the legal challenge include iwi leaders, academics, health workers and representatives from Māori groups throughout the country.
They argue ACT's interpretation is inaccurate, misleading and provides both the Crown and non-Māori more rights than the Treaty promised.
The inquiry will ultimately determine whether the Bill breaches Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The Tribunal is expected to release its findings by the end of the month.
