Mass rally opposes proposed New Zealand treaty reform

by Phil Mercer

SYDNEY --

A nine-day march to protest race relations laws in New Zealand ended
Tuesday with a rally of more than 40,000 perople [sic] in the capital,
Wellington.

Introduced last week by New Zealand's center-right government, the
Treaty Principles Bill, would enshrine a narrower legal interpretation
of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi.

The right-leaning government says a bill - or a proposed law reform -
would allow political and constitutional questions raised by the Treaty
of Waitangi to be decided by lawmakers instead of the courts.

However, some insist the measure would damage the rights of Indigenous
Maori.

Emmy Rakete is a lecturer at the University of Auckland's School of
Human Sciences. She told Radio New Zealand's Morning Report program
that there is great anger at the proposals.

"This is, kind of, the live wire underneath this country - the
fundamental contradiction between dispossessor and dispossessed and
colonizer and colonized, which has, kind of, been ignited again," she
said. "People are here in huge numbers. It is really beautiful to see,
actually."

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British monarchy and more than
500 Maori chiefs, and it laid down how the two parties agreed to govern
New Zealand.

The controversy over the Treaty Principles Bill is how the document is
interpreted.

David Seymour, the leader of the libertarian ACT Party, a junior
partner in the governing coalition, introduced the reform to Parliament
last week.

He believes the treaty discriminates against non-Indigenous citizens.
Seymour told lawmakers its guiding principles need to be clarified.

"There was one big problem," he said. "Nowhere in the Treaty of
Waitangi Act and at no time since, has this Parliament said what those
principles actually are. The democratically-elected body of this
Parliament has been silent."

New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has described the bill
as "divisive" - despite being part of the governing coalition alongside
David Seymour's minor political party.

New Zealand is a Pacific nation of just over 5 million people.
Indigenous Maori make up about 20% of the population, but suffer high
rates of imprisonment and ill-health.

Photos: Hundreds of counter-protesters clash with police at anti-abortion demonstration in Boston

This is the third march of these Out of State Male Only Christian Fascists into Boston with their Anti-Abortion Anti-Women's Rights Message, they were met by Counter-protestors including a Brass Band of Clowns and Jugglers, but the Police blocked both them AND the Press from access on the scene (blocking the Press Access to a Public Parade and Event On Boston Common may be considered a violation of 1st Amendment Rights and there will be lawsuits from this).

Boston Police are infamous in this state for Fascist favoring behavior and their own tendency towards violence and fascist behavior. Every attempt to root out the bad cops and leadership in that city has failed thanks to their powerful union and 'blue solidarity' against investigations of ethics violations and criminal cases that involve crimes by police.

Thanks to the Berkley Beacon from placing photographers to cover the event before the police blocked access and producing this photo collection of the events. Our local press covered almost nothing of the event.
