New Zealand First members have voted in favour of a review to repeal references to the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi in legislation except in some circumstances. Party members from Whangārei introduced the remit outlining the desire to review all legislation to repeal treaty references "except when related to statutory, full and final settlements". Jones said Northland representatives, from the home of the treaty, were concerned by the "fad" of adding treaty references into legislation. "This remit will unite New Zealand First, this remit will unite New Zealand and when implemented, New Zealand will unite into one country, one people, one law," Coromandel's Fiaola Siatu'u said.
