The tribunal said<\/a> in its report the policy could cause \u201creal harm\u201d to M\u0101ori welfare and the M\u0101ori-Crown relationship.<\/p>\n\u201cFor example … M\u0101ori have consistently shorter life spans than their non-M\u0101ori counterparts,\u201d the tribunal said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny reduction of the focus on the needs of M\u0101ori within the legislative and policy settings relevant to these issues will not simply be detrimental to M\u0101ori interests in a theoretical sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese changes could result in real harm, and potentially the loss of M\u0101ori lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer said Jones was \u201csliding\u201d his rhetoric to suit certain voters. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe tribunal is what we have used in the past for judicial decisions and iwi settlements and Waitangi Tribunal claims which we have all, across parties, honoured. Now he is saying they are at fault. Make up your mind, you cannot have it both ways,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think what we are seeing is the sliding of rhetoric to be anti-te Tiriti, to be anti-immigrant, to be anti-M\u0101ori, because that\u2019s where they see they are going to get their Trump-like voters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith has said the review would bring more clarity and predictability to law, as references vary in wording. For example, one reference could use \u201chonour\u201d while another might say \u201cgive effect to\u201d.<\/p>\n
