The media merger is gone. The clean car upgrade is dead. A selection of other policies have been cast aside or delayed by the first majority government in MMP history. Cynical, clinical, and effective, if the new Prime Minister's reprioritisation has taught us anything, it's public sentiment is the best measure in judging which legislation lives and dies. Forget vision or ambition, Labour just wants to win. With that in mind, the blade of Chris Hipkins' legislative guilotine weighs heavy above Three Waters, the last of the big reforms for which we're awaiting a final verdict. And while the centralisation model might survive his shake up, the Prime Minister's colleagues and officials will be trying to restructure the proposals in a way that nullifies the criticisms of disproportionate and undemocratic Māori influence. Co-governance as proposed under both the original and revised Three Waters reforms marked a first in New Zealand. It's disengenuous for supporters to dismiss the structure as nothing new, because it is. It may have been inspired by the co-governance of other smaller entities, but a 50-50 model for the delivery of essential public services, on this scale, would be a turning point in legislative interpretations of Te Tiriti. Opponents claim the Three Waters proposals defy a one-person-one-vote principle and cannot be considered democratic. It's true that as a percentage of the population, the proposals give Māori greater representation than non-Māori on the Regional Representative Groups. The original proposal had mana whenua at the top table, but even the revised version, in which Māori and council representation is one tier back, is structured in a 50-50 split. But another interpretation is simply that co-governance gives effect to the partnership principles of Te Tiriti, and that actually a better measure of New Zealand's democracy is whether the Crown honours its obligations under our founding document. In the words of the late Moana Jackson, treaties aren't meant to be settled, they're meant to be honoured. The great shame for supporters of co-governance is that Labour has never mounted a forceful argument to explain why it believes co-governance is the right course. Like spinach in a toddler's cheese toastie, the introduction of the reforms gave voters the impression Labour was trying to quietly sneak co-governance through. For all her communicative talents, when pressed, Jacinda Ardern ducked and dived and argued that for non-Māori, co-governance was nothing to fear. While that may be true, there's a significant difference between defending a controversial policy and actively selling it. Really, it's been left to a handful of Māori MPs to vainly fight off the critics. Nanaia Mahuta should never have been charged with pushing the changes through. Strategically it was a poor decision, and at a human level it wasn't much better. While much of the opposition to co-governance centres on reasonable arguments over representation and democracy, there is undoubtedly an ugly anti-Māori streak which has targetted the Minister, personally. Whether you agree with the interpretation or not, 50-50 co-governance for the delivery of vital public services is a subject worthy of debate. It cuts to the heart of our founding document, our identity, and our democracy. What does it mean to be Treaty partners in modern Aotearoa? The Labour government's handling of Three Waters has ultimately done a disservice to Māori. They never sold it. They never explained it. They never even tried to. And if Chris Hipkins chooses to water it down once again, you can be sure co-governance won't be back any time soon. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to be Tangata Tiriti? What is the difference between the Treaty and Te Tiriti? How can immigrants engage with Te Tiriti? Mika and Rachel chat with Etienne Wain, a Ph.D. student and law tutor here at Te Herenga Waka. Etienne's Ph.D. considers what rights and responsibilities are associated with being Tangata Tiriti/People of the Treaty. Definitions Tangata whenua: people of the whenua (land), people with an ancestral connection to the whenua of Aotearoa. The use of this term overlaps with the use of the term “Māori”. Tangata Tiriti: people of the Treaty; people who are living in Aotearoa because of Te Tiriti, i.e., all tauiwi. Tauiwi: migrants, settlers, people who have come here from somewhere else. Refers to both tauiwi of colour and Pākehā. Tino rangatiratanga: Māori self-determination, involving being in control of one's own destiny or the destiny of the collective group one belongs to. Linked to the concept of mana and sometimes compared with sovereignty. (Please note that these are Etienne's own definitions, compiled for this episode, and are not authoritative definitions. Others, especially tangata whenua, will have more authority to define these terms.)

Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon has called for body cameras to be worn by police to help address issues of unconscious and racial bias.In an opinion piece published in the Herald today, Foon said police had conceded that systemic racism existed in the force and body cameras "could be an integral tool" in dealing with the risk areas associated with bias and racial profiling.Māori legal expert Moana Jackson says body cameras could be a "partial technological block on overt racism" but wouldn't address the underlying causes.The Police Association has offered tacit support, saying it's probably a matter of "when" not "if" cameras would be introduced.Foon referenced three risk areas in policing when it comes to bias: who is stopped or spoken to; how force is used; and how prosecutions are sought."Body cameras could be an integral tool in dealing with these risk areas," he wrote.Cameras could offer context to problematic interactions and be used as evidence in legal cases involving officers.Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon. (Photo / NZME)"Whatever point Aotearoa would sit on the spectrum of body camera use is up to the respective authorities, including the Human Rights Commission, but it does seem to me that a record of interaction could either expose misconduct or quash false allegations."Police Association president Chris Cahill said if police body cameras shed more light on how police operate, then "I don't think there is anything to fear about that"."We don't think there is anything to be feared from officers wearing them and recording what they do on a daily basis. It will generally show the public a truer picture than videos recorded on phones that don't necessarily cover the whole event."Any introduction of cameras would have to be balanced with legal and privacy considerations, including how the footage could be used and whether it depicted children.Police Association president Chris Cahill says generally the association was in favour of body cameras. (Photo / Mark Mitchell)Police Commissioner Andrew Coster previously agreed unconscious bias still existed within the police."All humans have unconscious bias and we're no exception to that," he told The Hui.Jackson authored a 1987 report on Māori and the criminal justice system and a sequel to that report would be released in the coming months.He said it would be wrong to assume that body cameras are the solution."The police officers who were involved in the killing of George Floyd in America all had body cameras so it doesn't necessarily guarantee a shift in those substantive attitudes."Lawyer, author and director of Ngā Kaiwhakamarama i Ngā Ture, Moana Jackson. (Photo / Warren Buckland)Police Minister Poto Williams said cameras were an operational matter for police and their implementation would require consideration around data use and storage."Police have taken a number of steps to identify and reflect what modern-day policing in New Zealand should be."That included investigating whether bias existed in police, reviewing their policy on photographing individuals, ensuring leadership teams undertook unconscious bias training and accepting all 30 recommendations from their Francis Review into Police culture.
