    The majority of supporters of all major parties including Labour supporters but excluding the greens (no chance of integrity from them) support all three Treaty Principles. But even the greens support one of the principles.
    No real surprise but maybe the politicians will listen eh?
    Even less likely, maybe the MSM will report what the people believe, eh? https://thefacts.nz/treaty-principles-poll-3/

    This polling shows that New Zealand needs to have a referendum as to whether or not they agree with the principles.

    It is an interesting situation when the media and MPs are out of touch with the facts, except Seymour.

    Politicans and management never know nor do what the real people want.

    Usually, the higher up the management tree they go (with politicians
    being in the upper levels, but not the top), the more stupid, more
    selfish, and more ignorant the person seems to become. :-(

    OK, then you and I have had different experiences.
    I will agree that there is a tendency for some companies to promote people just because they are good at their current job and assume they will be good in a more senior role. That is folly, good companies do it better and it is not that hard.

    Those of Maori descent don't want any referendum that involves the
    Treaty or any other racially-oriented issue, because most of us Kiwis
    are not of Maori descent so the result will never favour those of
    Maori descent. They call this 'the tyranny of the majority'.

    Exactly Crash - The Treaty was effectively a Peace Agreement between
    warring parties; it gave rights to both sides; sadly Maori have seen
    those rights trampled over, and the Treaty mis-represented
    consistently for many years. Successive Treaty Ministers have seen the
    merits of granting compensation for many legitimate grievances; they
    have seen this as not only honourable on the part of government but
    consistent with the rule of law, and fairness to all New Zealanders.

    See:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_for_Treaty_of_Waitangi_Negotiations

    Of the 7 Treaty Negotiations Ministers, the most prominent and
    respected are probably Doug Graham, Michael Cullen, Chris Finlayson
    and Andrew Little. but until Christopher Luxon the Prime Ministers
    that appointed them were all supportive of the position and of
    achieving settlements that are as fair as possible.

    It is widely accepted that the settlements represent only around 2% to
    3% of the value of land and other rights lost to Maori through the mis-interpretation and deliberate unlawful actions of Pakeha in the
    past, including actions by past Governments.

    In his racist attitudes, and contempt for the sanctity of contract and
    equality under the law, Seymour is following Atlas Network disruptive
    policies similar to those being followed (albeit more erratically) by
    Donald Trump in the USA - unfortunately the National Party do not have
    the sense to realise that Seymour is as much a threat to their
    re-election as Christopher Luxon.

    yes that is fair. The Waitangi Tribunal has not been able to avoid all controversy however - but where there are shared interests such as the
    Waikato and Wanganui Rivers, solutions have been found that met the
    needs of both Government and Maori, to the benefit of all. Some issues
    were controversial when first raised - radio frequencies come to

    Completely irrelevant and off-topic. If you need to make such
    outrageous assertions it is clear you have no other basis for validity
    in opposing the Bill.

    Significant by its absence is any quotation of the actual text in the
    Bill and your assertions.

    Just read a few of the submissions on the bill . . . many were
    published. It is fair to say that a significant majority of New
    Zealanders opposed the bill put forward by Seymour.

    You are wrong Rich. The Poll reported by thefacts.nz can be found
    here:

    https://thefacts.nz/treaty-principles-poll-3/

    and that lists this data source:

    https://assets.nationbuilder.com/actnz/mailings/14478/attachments/original/Treaty_Poll_ACT_Dec24.pdf?1734061223

    and that is referenced by Curia here:

    https://www.curia.co.nz/2024/12/curia-poll-on-treaty-principles-bill/

    So this is a genuine, acknowledged Curia poll data..

    While the graphic produced on thefacts.nz website is not from Curia,
    the raw data is. Feel free to attack the accuracy of the graphic vs
    the data if you can, but based your previous efforts in this thread
    you are not likely to be able to do so.

    Thank you for those references, Crash, and yes you are correct, this
    was a genuine poll - one that was carried out at a time that few
    people were familiar with the provisions of the Bill or the arguments
    that were put forward to the Select Committee. It did not get wide
    publicity at that time, which is a shame, as the results may have
    misled ACT as to the possibility of their Bill being accepted.

    I do stand by my view that the website appears to be an amateur
    concoction - to not have disclosed the date of the poll is a clear
    mistake.

    So yes a poll that puts forward one side of an issue without the clear objections that ACT would have been aware of is a legitimate poll, but
    not one that should have been relied on by anyone with common sense
    and a knowledge of those issues. It could be seen as a push poll that
    was designed to produce the answers that the client wanted - but even
    if that was what the client wanted, I believe a reputable polling
    organisation would have refused to draw conclusions from the poll
    without at least one balancing question.

    You really are digging yourself into a deep hole of irrational
    silliness here. There is no law that requires Curia to publish every
    poll on their website (curia.co.nz). Listed there are 4 polls - for
    the Taxpayers Union and Free Speech Union. Many polls they have done
    are not listed there.

    Rich if you are so concerned about whether the poll reported at
    thefacts.nz is a fake Curia poll why not ask Curia?

    You believe that the poll on thefacts.nz is total bullshit simply
    because you wish it was, not because of any rational reasoning.

    Clearly you regard only those that agree with you as "Open-minded"

    There is no damage to anybody in the bill.
    None that you accept, but the Waitangi Tribunal would disagree - they
    have the legal knowledge that you clearly do not have.

    All opposition to the bill was greed or politics based, pity that National and
    NZF could not support the majority.
    On this issue, National and NZF were part of the majority. A biased
    poll that only asks about one view of the issue is not reliable -

    Worth checking social media sometimes - this from Facebook - Willy
    Jackson.

    _________________________________________
    "After getting thrashed in Parliament with a crushing vote against his
    Treaty Principles Bill, Seymour's still whinging!
    I am sick of David Seymour saying people never give a reason about why
    they were against his race baiting political stunt, well here's 10
    David!
    1 - It was a race baiting political stunt!
    2 - It was a bad faith debate where you had zero interest in learning
    the truth nor reflect upon the vast opposition to your very narrow
    redefinition of fairness and equality!
    3 - It was going to radically alter the way the Government interprets
    the Treaty!
    4 - You can't radically alter the way the Government interprets the
    Treaty without agreement
    5 -This was NEVER about special privilege’s or racial preference it
    was always about LEGAL rights, legal rights Maori have with the Crown
    because they signed a contract with the Crown, a contract you have
    taken upon yourself to redefine for everyone!
    6 - Maori never ceded sovereignty, so why are you rewriting our agency
    and independence without our agreement?
    7 - This referendum is not like the End of Life Referendum, that was
    an individual right, what you are proposing with the Treaty Principles Referendum are group rights you don't have the right to dictate to via
    a referendum!
    8 - The Tyranny of the Majority is no way to decide the rights of the indigenous people!
    9 - There are two versions of the Treaty, most Maori signed the Maori
    version, your Referendum doesn't acknowledge this.
    10 - We are signed to UN declarations that state the Treaty in the
    indigenous language takes precedence.
    Over 300 000 participated in this submission process, the largest ever
    in NZ history, it saw the largest Hikoi in history and 90% of those
    who did submit were against it, and yet still David claims he has no
    idea why anyone is against it.
    In fact Seymour has claimed the Maori Chiefs who signed the Treaty
    would support him, Nelson Mandela would support him and even Jesus
    Christ would support him.
    His arrogance is beyond belief and finally on top of the 10 reasons
    that I have provided the main reason why David Seymour is a liar over
    his Treaty Principles Bill is because he says he does not want to
    change anything about the treaty but the truth is he wants to change
    the Treaty , constitution , history and future of this country it’s as
    simple as that, that surely makes him a liar doesn’t it?" _____________________________________________________

    I would perhaps have used slightly different words, but there is
    nothing there that I disagree with.

    So there you are Tony - do you have any rational argument (or even
    better facts) to refute any of the points Willy Jackson makes?

    The bottom line is that ACT (and by implication Tony) do not believe
    that a contract needs to be complied with . . . nobody should trust
    anyone who has that attitude . . .

    Clearly you regard only those that agree with you as "Open-minded"

    There is no damage to anybody in the bill.
    None that you accept, but the Waitangi Tribunal would disagree - they
    have the legal knowledge that you clearly do not have.

    All opposition to the bill was greed or politics based, pity that National >>>and
    NZF could not support the majority.
    On this issue, National and NZF were part of the majority. A biased
    poll that only asks about one view of the issue is not reliable -
    hence my comments about ACT having been misled.
    This issue will be raised again and it must be.

    _________________________________________
    "After getting thrashed in Parliament with a crushing vote against his
    Treaty Principles Bill, Seymour's still whinging!
    I am sick of David Seymour saying people never give a reason about why
    they were against his race baiting political stunt, well here's 10
    David!
    1 - It was a race baiting political stunt!
    2 - It was a bad faith debate where you had zero interest in learning
    the truth nor reflect upon the vast opposition to your very narrow >redefinition of fairness and equality!
    3 - It was going to radically alter the way the Government interprets
    the Treaty!
    4 - You can't radically alter the way the Government interprets the
    Treaty without agreement
    5 -This was NEVER about special privilege’s or racial preference it
    was always about LEGAL rights, legal rights Maori have with the Crown
    because they signed a contract with the Crown, a contract you have
    taken upon yourself to redefine for everyone!
    6 - Maori never ceded sovereignty, so why are you rewriting our agency
    and independence without our agreement?
    7 - This referendum is not like the End of Life Referendum, that was
    an individual right, what you are proposing with the Treaty Principles >Referendum are group rights you don't have the right to dictate to via
    a referendum!
    8 - The Tyranny of the Majority is no way to decide the rights of the >indigenous people!
    9 - There are two versions of the Treaty, most Maori signed the Maori >version, your Referendum doesn't acknowledge this.
    10 - We are signed to UN declarations that state the Treaty in the
    indigenous language takes precedence.
    Over 300 000 participated in this submission process, the largest ever
    in NZ history, it saw the largest Hikoi in history and 90% of those
    who did submit were against it, and yet still David claims he has no
    idea why anyone is against it.
    In fact Seymour has claimed the Maori Chiefs who signed the Treaty
    would support him, Nelson Mandela would support him and even Jesus
    Christ would support him.
    His arrogance is beyond belief and finally on top of the 10 reasons
    that I have provided the main reason why David Seymour is a liar over
    his Treaty Principles Bill is because he says he does not want to
    change anything about the treaty but the truth is he wants to change
    the Treaty , constitution , history and future of this country it’s as
    simple as that, that surely makes him a liar doesn’t it?" >_____________________________________________________

    I would perhaps have used slightly different words, but there is
    nothing there that I disagree with.

    So there you are Tony - do you have any rational argument (or even
    better facts) to refute any of the points Willy Jackson makes?

    The bottom line is that ACT (and by implication Tony) do not believe
    that a contract needs to be complied with . . . nobody should trust
    anyone who has that attitude . . .
    Willy Jackson, that racist hero of yours.
    Meaningless post from dickbot.
    Just floundering around in his own created nonsense.

    Absolute nonsense - just your fantasy. The poll was not biased and you cannot show otherwise.

    This polling shows that New Zealand needs to have a referendum as to whether
    or not they agree with the principles.

    You are wrong Rich. The Poll reported by thefacts.nz can be found

    While the graphic produced on thefacts.nz website is not from Curia,
    the raw data is. Feel free to attack the accuracy of the graphic vs
    the data if you can, but based your previous efforts in this thread
    you are not likely to be able to do so.

    Thank you for those references, Crash, and yes you are correct, this
    was a genuine poll - one that was carried out at a time that few
    people were familiar with the provisions of the Bill or the arguments
    that were put forward to the Select Committee. It did not get wide
    publicity at that time, which is a shame, as the results may have
    misled ACT as to the possibility of their Bill being accepted.

    I do stand by my view that the website appears to be an amateur
    concoction - to not have disclosed the date of the poll is a clear
    mistake.

    So yes a poll that puts forward one side of an issue without the clear >objections that ACT would have been aware of is a legitimate poll, but
    not one that should have been relied on by anyone with common sense
    and a knowledge of those issues. It could be seen as a push poll that
    was designed to produce the answers that the client wanted - but even
    if that was what the client wanted, I believe a reputable polling >organisation would have refused to draw conclusions from the poll
    without at least one balancing question.

    Keep digging Rich. You did not do the research that I did about the
    veracity of the poll results on the thefacts.nz website. You outright
    lied and have been called on that. Everything else you have said in
    this thread is tainted by these facts.
