Treaty of Waitangi
Not set out on their website.
Require that all international treaties give full effect to Aotearoa/New Zealand’s Treaty of Waitangi responsibilities and obligations Support the comprehensive study of New Zealand history, including Te Tiriti o Waitangi, at all curriculum levels, in order to reduce racism and foster a sense of identity in our communities Reject the use of the Conservation Estate as a cheap source of land for Treaty settlements
Aim to achieve just and durable settlement of all historical Treaty claims by 2014 Review the impact of increases in prices, and in particular land prices, on Treaty settlements Enhance continuity in the settlement process by appointing independent settlement facilitators to assist in all stages of negotiation and settlement Honour agreements made under the Foreshore and Seabed Act
Remove all references to ‘principles’ of the Treaty from legislation as they remain undefined, ambiguous and are an unstable footing upon which to base claims under the Treaty Replace the Waitangi Tribunal and refocus operations and research Set five year deadline for lodging of historical claims and require reporting on claims to be completed by 2012 Resolve historical claims by 2015
Commit to a goal of 2014 for the settlement of historical grievances, and resource the claims process to ensure that this becomes a reality Ensure that settlements fit within the norms of a modern liberal democratic society – i.e. they should not give one class of citizens' greater rights than others but should recognize the unique place that hapü, whänau and iwi have had in our country Ensure that, as a pre-requisite to treaty settlements, robust governance structures are established by iwi and urban trusts for the long term benefit of the recipients Establish a new national day on which all New Zealanders celebrate the unique gift we possess by being part of this nation. This will be separate from Waitangi Day, which will also be retained and celebrated
