1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: So it looks like the Treaty Principles actors toast as

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Christopher Luxen assured it it would be. And much was

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: made over the weekend that ninety percent of the submissions

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: were against it. But you know that means nothing at

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: all if all the opposing submissions were just photocopies of one,

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: which I think a lot of them were. Remember that

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Maori are organized. Anyone who's seen their multiple hikoys and

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: their awesome organization of the King's tongue, he should know

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: that you underestimate Malory at your own peril. They got

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: organized and they swamped the Select Committee. But it must

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: also be noted that the act that that ax Act,

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a simplistic dog in my opinion,

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: much of it already covered by the Bill of Rights.

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: At its heart, it was three sentences designed to overthrow

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: fifty years of legal development. But is the movement against

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: the Treaty Principles dead? And no? It is not New

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Zealand first one to have a crack. Winston Peters, being

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: the experienced legislator that he is, wants to amend all

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: the existing Treaty Principles legislation that we already have if

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: you remember, he ran his election campaign on it, and

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: it is a smart way to achieve real change because

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: it's already in the law. You just change the thing.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: As we approach the changeover between Peters and Seymour of

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: the Deputy PM role, Winston will have the time and

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: the energy to have a crack. So welcome to round

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: two of the Treaty Principle's debate, a round that has

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: much more chance to succeed. For more from Early edition
