Ngāti Pāoa Claims Settlement Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill will give effect to some elements of the Ngāti Paoa deed of settlement which was signed on 20 March 2021 by the Ngāti Paoa and the Crown. This bill records the acknowledgements and apology made by the Crown to Iwi when the deed was signed, and gives effect to redress in the deed.
