Vision NZ on Treaty & Māori Affairs
One nation, one people; opposes Treaty being used in trade deals
Vision New Zealand uses the slogan 'One Nation, One People, One Vote,' which suggests they do not support separate rights or representation based on ethnicity. They have also spoken out against what they call the Crown betraying Te Tiriti o Waitangi through the New Zealand–India Free Trade Agreement, saying that deal fails the Treaty. Beyond that, their website does not spell out detailed Treaty or Māori Affairs policies.
What they say they'll do
- Call for an immediate halt to the ratification of the New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement
- Demand the Crown fulfil its duty to consult Māori by not keeping treaty-relevant clauses secret
- Seek equivalent protections and pathways for Rongoā Māori comparable to those granted to Indian traditional medicine (AYUSH) in the deal
Who this affects
Māori communities and iwi groups
The party says Māori groups were excluded from seeing key chapters of the trade deal before it was signed, which it argues denies them their rights under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Practitioners of Rongoā Māori (traditional Māori medicine)
The party says the trade deal gave formal recognition and visa pathways to Indian traditional medicine but provided no equivalent for Rongoā Māori.
In their own words
“The Crown signed this deal on 27 April 2026 without providing the final text of critical chapters to mandated Māori groups like Ngā Toki Whakarururanga.”
“The Crown cannot fulfill its duty to consult if it keeps the clauses secret from its partner”
“the agreement grants specific recognition and 200 dedicated visas for Indian traditional medicine (AYUSH), it fails to provide any equivalent protections or pathways for Rongoā Māori.”
