Te Tiriti o Waitangi is the founding document of New Zealand. As outlined in its Preamble, the Treaty was signed between representatives of the British Crown and Māori on 6 February 1840. It enabled subsequent migration to New Zealand and the establishment of government by the Crown.
The purpose of the bill is to set out the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in legislation, and require, where relevant, those principles to be used when interpreting legislation. The bill proposes the following principles:
Principle 1: The Government of New Zealand has full power to govern, and Parliament has full power to make laws. They do so in the best interests of everyone, and in accordance with the rule of law and the maintenance of a free and democratic society.新西兰政府拥有完全治理权，并为所有人谋求最佳利益
Principle 2: The Crown recognises the rights that hapū and iwi had when they signed the Treaty/te Tiriti. The Crown will respect and protect those rights. Those rights differ from the rights everyone has a reasonable expectation to enjoy only when they are specified in Treaty settlements。政府承认并尊重，并保护毛利族群在签订协议时享有
Principle 3: Everyone is equal before the law and is entitled to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. Everyone is entitled to the equal enjoyment of the same fundamental human rights without discrimination.原则3， 法律面前人人平等，每个人都拥有同样的基本人权，没有区别和歧视。 （这样，在就业教育和医疗再另外搞一套就是不行）
