Luxon rules out Treaty referendum

Treaty Principles Bill news

Prime Minister Chris Luxon has ruled out supporting a public referendum on the Treaty of Waitangi if requested by ACT in post-2026 election negotiations.

Speaking at Rātana Pā, Luxon reiterated National’s position to vote down the Treaty Principles Bill after its select committee process concludes.

Te Pāti Māori and the Green Party have questioned why the bill advanced this far if it was destined to fail, while Labour leader Chris Hipkins blamed National for stoking division between Māori and non-Māori.

Luxon defended the Bill as a coalition obligation with ACT that would soon be “dead in the water.”
