New Zealand’s failed experiment highlights ‘Voice to parliament’ dangers
Luke is joined by John Storey, Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, to discuss the IDP’s new research that identifies five key lessons from the Waitangi Tribunal’s history that will apply to Australia if we follow New Zealand’s path.
“New Zealand’s failed Māori Voice to Parliament, the Waitangi Tribunal, which the Prime Minister held up as a model for Australia, has imposed dangerous policies that puts a person’s race above all other considerations in government decision making,” says Mr Storey.
The report, ‘New Zealand’s Māori Voice to Parliament and what we can expect for Australia’, analyses the case history of the Waitangi Tribunal, the New Zealand equivalent to the proposed Voice to Parliament, and reveals the practical consequences of race-based constitutional change.
