* No organisation is trusted by more than 50% of the population to provide accurate information on the Treaty/Te Tiriti.
* MPs at 7% and News media at 6% are trusted less than Advocacy/activist groups or organisations at 10%, and only slightly more than social media at 5%
* Political parties are trusted by 4%
1) Given that most of our information on the Treaty/Te Tiriti comes from politicians and news media, are you concerned by this lack of trust?
2)Is it problematic that no organisation has more than 50% of the trust of Kiwis?
3)In general, how do we resolve disagreements around the Treaty/Te Tiriti to achieve greater social unity in New Zealand?

KEY QUESTIONS
1) Given that most of our information on the Treaty/Te Tiriti comes from politicians and news media, are you concerned by this lack of trust?
2)Is it problematic that no organisation has more than 50% of the trust of Kiwis?
3)In general, how do we resolve disagreements around the Treaty/Te Tiriti to achieve greater social unity in New Zealand?
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
From Horizon’s Report:
- “Respondents were shown a list of sources and asked to select all of those they would trust to provide accurate information about the Treaty/Te Tiriti.
- The most trusted source is The National Library of New Zealand (45%). It displays the original Treaty and Te Tiriti texts.
- Other most trusted sources of accurate information are:
- The Waitangi Tribunal – 36%
- Books, websites, podcasts, etc that cover New Zealand history – 34%
- Educational institutions (e.g. schools/universities) – 26%
- Te Kāhui Tika Tangata Human Rights Commission – 25%.
The least trusted sources are:
- Bloggers – 2%
- Political parties – 4%
- Social media – 5%
- News media – 6%.”
We have ordered the graph from most to least trusted source, except for Other which we’ve left at the bottom. We do not know if respondents were able to list their Other response.
For the colours, we have used:
- Black for the graph as New Zealand’s national colour.
- Red to highlight the political and news media results since we felt they were a key insight. Red is a common colour used in Maoridom, so we felt it was a good choice for a second contrasting colour.
Horizon Research’s fieldwork dates were November 2-7, and their sample size was 1,076 respondents overall. Only voters 18+ were surveyed.
This report also asked many other questions. See SOURCE below for the link.
All numbers are provisional and subject to revision.

Trust the Waitangi Tribunal, really.
I do dispare for our country.
News media 6%?
I doubt that.
.6% is more credible.
i am incredulous that the Waitangi Tribunal ranks so high. What proportion refused the questions? Many folk are very uninformed and prefer not to display their ignorance. Most maori have been brainwashed and many others have also succumbed to the endless misinformation, and hence inclined to answer.
Very interesting.
Particularly the trust placed in the Waitangi Tribunal.
Their impartiality is often suspect.
The Waitangi tribunal is a racially stacked pro-Maori lobby group and is not a court authorised to make binding authoritative statements about NZ law, they can only make recommendations to Government.
David Rankin - The tribunal makes up history as it goes along.
Brian Priestley MBE - “It would be hard to imagine any public body less well-organised to get at the truth".
Dr Michael Bassett - “what you have been dealing with for the last 30years are some very inventive people stretching the wording of the Treaty so far it is falling apart because of the games that are being played with it.
Dr Giselle Byrnes says. Maori characters and stories are given much more emphasis and weight than Pakeha characters and stories. "The reports increasingly champion or advocate the Maori cause."
Other historians - including Keith Sorrenson, Michael Belgrave and Bill Oliver - have raised similar concerns....
To add to Anon@8.30pm list.
Judge queries ethics of treaty demands. (NZ Herald article Nov 17th 1999.)
Justice Durie chairman of the Waitangi Tribunal say claimants have asked researchers to change findings that would be unhelpful to their case, tried to make the payments of researches conditional on their findings being altered, required commissioned researches to remove material unhelpful to the claimant’s case or amend their conclusions before being paid, presented biased claims while omitting evidence against their argument, instructed researchers not to consult with certain persons and/or only those approved by the claimants groups.
So nothing for the NZ taxpayer to be worried about with the ethics and values of this apartheid Waitangi Tribunal then!!
Crazy crazy stuff....but this is the new nz, loonies are in firm control. Let's take our poor country back from the nutters. :)
Interesting information. The key point it shows is not many people know anything about the set up of the Waitangi Tribunal, who is on it and how it operates. An education program is needed.
