New Zealand's coalition government are in the midst of rolling back Māori rights, including the relatively established use of Te Reo Maori language in the public sector. There are also serious moves to change the way the Treaty of Waitangi is applied in law and policy, by overhauling the guiding principles. The rhetoric is divisive but it’s sparking protests, court cases and galvanising Māori to unite and push back. 

Guests:

•  Carwyn Jones - Honorary adjunct Professor at the School of Māori Studies at Victoria University in Wellington
• Annette Sykes – Principle of her own law firm that specalises in Waitangi Tribunal cases
