The Treaty Principles Bill has been defeated in Parliament with 112 votes in opposition and 11 in favour, but the debate about Te Tiriti and Māori rights looks set to stay high on the political agenda. Supermarket giant Woolworths has confirmed a new operating model that Workers First say will lead to pay cuts that will cost experienced workers thousands of dollars. More than $20 million in Holidays Act remediation payments have been made to Health New Zealand's staff in Nelson and Marlborough.
