A group of licensed Māori translators have hit out at the upcoming Treaty Principles Bill, calling it factually incorrect and misleading.
In an open letter sent to senior ministers – including Prime Minister Christopher Luxon – 27 translators said the bill was based on a translation of te Tiriti which was “deeply flawed” and failed “international translation ethical standards”.
Signatories include Dr Jeremy Tātere MacLeod, broadcaster and language revitalist Stacey Morrison and Piripi Walker – a key figure in the establishment of the Māori language radio network.
