Thursday 5 December, at WSBC (284 The Parade), at 7:30pm

The government has introduced the Treaty Principles Bill and is curently inviting public submissions. This Bill would undermine Māori rights under Te Tiriti and destabilise our relationships even further.

Even if the bill never becomes law, the conversations about it will influence how many people view the Treaty. You can help to ensure the conversation is truthful and compassionate.

WSBC invites you, in collaboration with Common Grace Aotearoa,to gather to learn what the bill proposes, why many people are deeply concerned, and how you can have your say. We’ll provide all the resources you need to speak up with a gracious and prophetic voice to defend the integrity of Te Tiriti.

We will be running a 90(ish) minute workshop via video.

• It includes:
  • a refresher on what Te Tiriti o Waitangi says
  • an introduction to ‘Treaty Principles’
  • An outline of what the Treaty Principles Bill proposes and how we believe it does not align with Te Tiriti
  • How to have your say.
