The Waitangi tribunal released it's first take on the government's Treaty Principles Bill and it doesn't like it. 

The tribunal says it's unfair and discriminatory - and should be abandoned. 

The prime minister has already pushed back, saying it's a coalition commitment with Act to pursue the bill to first reading. 

Former Waitangi tribunal historian, Dr Sam Carpenter told Heather du Plessis-Allan it may cause confusion in the existing law and how principles are understood.
