PM accuses Collins over playing politics of Māori self-determination report Mon, 3 May 2021, 6:38PM
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ruled out the idea of a Māori parliament but sidestepped other questions about a report on Māori self-determination, instead accusing the Opposition leader of politicking.
National Party leader Judith Collins said on Saturday the Government was seeking to create two systems by stealth , with separate systems for Māori, by enacting recommendations in the report He Puapua without public consultation.
The report was produced by a working group in 2019, tasked by the Government to recommend how New Zealand could realise its commitments under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
