Thousands march on NZ parliament in protest against change to Māori treaty bill

Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched on New Zealand’s parliament in Wellington to protest against a change to a founding treaty between the Māori and the crown, which was signed more than a century ago. Activists say the alteration in how the bill is interpreted infringes Māori rights.

  1. we always get protests when the conservative government gets in – conservative ideology is the same worldwide – their way or the highway – conservatives never care about the indigenous population of the country they live in

  2. Don't forget. Aboriginies and Maori are fighting against the same battle against the same people. The Europeans… Same as our Polynesian brothers and sisters. The same non- cultered ethnicity that applies the strategy where ever they go, to over-take the land that is not rightfully theirs.
