ACT leader David Seymour and former Prime Minister Helen Clark.
ACT leader David Seymour says "Helen Clark got it right" by not signing up to the UN Declaration of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, and is now calling for all parties in Parliament to renounce the declaration. 
New Zealand was one of only four countries that did not join the declaration when it was established in 2007, though National later signed up in 2010.
A controversial Government report commissioned in 2019, He Puapua, subsequently laid out a roadmap for how New Zealand can fulfil its obligations under the declaration - and the Government has now launched consultation with iwi on that document.
