The Five Principles first appeared publicly in a 1989 booklet entitled, “The Five Principles for Crown Action on the Treaty of Waitangi”.

There is a vast difference between the treaty and the “principles”, which were dreamt up by Palmer and his colleagues using out of date information and false treaty documents.
In 1986, Palmer instigated the dreamt up “principles”, which effectively wrote the majority of New Zealanders out of the treaty and made it into a “partnership” between Maori and the Crown. The Maori activists and the Courts grasped the “partnership” with both hands and the grifting and troughing began in earnest.
You can thank the fourth Labour government for turbo charging apartheid and racial division in New Zealand.
