Paul Goldsmith: Justice Minister on government repealing references to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi within laws

The Government has quietly agreed to repeal a number of references to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi within laws, and amending others. Despite ongoing conversations since February, no one from within the Government had spoken publicly about the move or made any announcement. The Ministry of Justice said this would ensure “better outcomes and more consistent decision-making”. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith spoke to Mike Hosking about the decision.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
