The Treaty Principles Bill aims to amend New Zealand's treaty with Maori, provoking backlash and protests, even facing criticism from Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
More than 10,000 protesters joined a hikoi, marching towards Parliament to oppose the proposed legislation that could strip Maori people of their historic rights.
Prime Minister Chris Luxon labeled the bill as 'simplistic' and expressed his lack of support, highlighting the growing dissatisfaction from both the public and political figures.
In a dramatic display, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke performed a haka and tore up the bill in the Parliament, encapsulating the strong emotions surrounding the debate.
