Curia Research – New Zealanders overwhelmingly support Treaty Principles Bill

Summarised by Centrist 

In a surprising revelation, a poll by Curia Market Research commissioned by the Taxpayers’ Union, shows the prospect of a Treaty Principles bill enjoys broad support across New Zealand. 60% favour the bill against a mere 18% opposition, which translates into a 3:1 ratio of support to opposition, according to The Facts. 

Breaking it down by party, the National Party’s followers show a 4:1 approval ratio. This raises the question as to why the Party has offered limited support when their voters overwhelmingly support the bill? 

Surprisingly, Labour supporters are even more enthusiastic, with a 6:1 ratio. 

The proposed bill, seeking to define Treaty of Waitangi principles, including governance rights and equality under law, resonates widely. From urban to rural locales, and across genders and ages.
