Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975

The Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 established the Waitangi
Tribunal and gave the Treaty of Waitangi recognition in
New Zealand law for the first time. The Tribunal was
empowered to investigate possible breaches of the Treaty
by the New Zealand government or any state-controlled
body, occurring after 1975.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Waitangi_Act_1975

It has been amended no less than 5 times.

This looks like the Act which Rich keeps refering to.

The problem is the Act doesn't say which of the two treaty's are supposed to be used!

It's also interesting that a small bit of research indicates that Richie's claim the treaty is covered by international law as just another Rich lie :)

From this link: The treaty document is an agreement, not a treaty as recognised in international law[1] and it has no independent legal status, being legally effective only to the extent it is recognised in various statutes.

It's going to be interesting to see what Rich dredges up from his imaginative mind to deny this ;)
