Community note:

The proposed bill (https://legislation.govt.nz/bill/government/2024/0094/latest/LMS1003433.html) does not change any defined terms of the Treaty (https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/discover-collections/read-watch-play/maori/treaty-waitangi/treaty-close/full-text-te-tiriti-o).

This protest was made at the vote to pass the bill from first reading to select committee where submissions would be heard on the bill from any interested party.
