In Justice they want $500 million for restorative justice, $100 million for a Maori legal defence service, compulsory body cameras for Police, repealing the Bail Amendment Act, and pardon Maori for crimes they didn’t commit. In their Te Reo policy they want to replace the name New Zealand with Aotearoa, and replace all Pakeha names of cities and towns to their original Maori names. They have a big focus on enhancing Te Reo through schools, such as requiring all Primary School curriculum to be 50% Te Reo, and pay schools according to their measured Te Reo competency. Insert relativity clauses into all Te Tiriti settlements, to ensure all iwi have parity with Ngāi Tahu and Waikato-Tainui.
