	Description:		The Government has quietly agreed to repeal several references to Treaty principles within laws. The move – which wasn’t publicly announced – follows a coalition agreement to review Treaty provisions across 23 pieces of legislation. Ministers argue the changes will bring greater clarity and consistency. Critics warn it could strain Māori-Crown relationships even further, and could trigger legal challenges. So, what does it all mean? And, does it echo the deeply controversial Treaty Principles Bill in any way? Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald chief political reporter Jamie Ensor is with us to break it down. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
