The treaty wasn’t between “new zealanders” and the NZ Parliament or even the British Parliament of 1840. Around 500 Māori signed the Māori version, while only 39 signed the English version. For the fools who keep stating that the NZ Parliament is ‘sovereign’, this separation of the Crown powers is deliberate. The courts, whom David Seymour seems to want to pretend have been ‘making law’ independent of the NZ Parliament, have in fact been doing their job.
