"After the hīkoi, the haka, the flags and the tumult, what next?

In the absence of obvious answers, a thoughtful and respectful discussion about
te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi would be timely, to help guide us into
the future.

How can that be managed, however? Like any debate, it will be characterised by
differences of opinion, within te ao Māori (the Māori world) as well as beyond
it.

How those differences are handled will be vital. And that is the challenge
facing the Justice Select Commmittee, now calling for submissions (closing
January 7) on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill."
