Bruce Moon: Challenging Charters

Associate Professor Claire Charters in full flight; the need to clip her wings!  Or, to change our metaphor slightly, yet another bright star in the New Zealand firmament is one Claire Charters, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Auckland.  It is she who has said that the (rat-eaten) “Treaty of Waitangi” “must continue to be the lighthouse on the shore guiding our way.”[i]

It was the said Ms Charters who had the privilege of delivering the Bruce Jesson Memorial Lecture on 27 September 2022, having chaired the working group that produced the 2019 report “He Puapua”!

She is also director of the so-called “Aotearoa New Zealand Centre for Indigenous Peoples and the Law."

H’m!  All that sounds interesting.  We’d better have a good look at the report of that lecture.
