Next Group Of Public Submissions On Treaty Principles Bill Announced

Article: RNZ

The Justice Committee has named 367 people to present oral submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill, with a further 112 spots reserved for randomly selected submitters.

In a statement on Friday, the committee said the list of names has been nominated by each political party, and it has sought to take a balanced approach.

The names include many iwi and hapū groupings, unions, lawyers, and a range of individuals including well known and lesser-known people.

Ex-politicians including former Prime Minister Dame Jenny Shipley and former Finance Minister Ruth Richardson are included.

More names will be selected to fill gaps if others cancelled their appearance, could not be contacted, or were unable to be scheduled due to limited availability.

Dates and timings for each session would be publicised in the days leading up.

"The committee has published this list to inform the public about its work, and to give clarity to submitters who have contacted the committee asking if they will be invited to make an oral submission," the statement said.

"We appreciate that some submitters will be disappointed not to have the opportunity to speak to the committee. The committee has sought to take a balanced approach to its hearings by allowing each political party to influence how the 80 hours of hearing time is used.

"If you have not been selected to be invited, we thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make a written submission."

Written submissions for the submitters invited to make oral submissions are planned for publication on Monday.

The committee heard from some of the named submitters today over more than four hours. The next sitting is for two hours next Thursday 13 February.
