新西兰政府秘密将怀条约的义务降低到"考虑". NZ government secretly reduces Treaty of Waitangi obligations to "take into account."

新西兰政府秘密修改了23项涉及怀条约的法律, 减少义务仅限于"考虑". The New Zealand government has secretly enacted changes to 23 laws involving the Treaty of Waitangi, reducing obligations to merely "take into account." 批评者认为,这削弱了条约的权威并违反其精神,因为它不允许毛利人进行协商. 政府则声称这些变化是为了澄清法律语言. Critics argue this weakens the Treaty's authority and violates its spirit by excluding Māori consultation, while the government claims the changes are intended to clarify legal language.
