Former Prime Minister Dame Jenny Shipley described the Treaty Principles Bill as unconscionable during a select committee hearing. While iwi leaders performed a haka and a karakia, Shipley argued the bill threatens a visionary relationship. An advocacy group organiser also called for the size of recent protests to be considered in submissions.
