2009 Treaty debate series

It's coming up to Waitangi Day, and Te Papa and the VUW centre for public law are once again holding their annual Treaty debate series exploring the role of the Treaty in modern New Zealand. The first debate will be held next Thursday (January 29), and feature Robert McLeod and Roger Kerr on the place of Māori in economic Development. Though since they're both from the Business Round Table, there probably won't be much of a debate. Then the week after, on Thursday 5 February, it will be Professor Philip Joseph (who has recently worked for the BRT - is there a theme here?) and Derek Fox on the role of Māori in Parliament and the future of the Māori Seats.

Both debates will take place in Soundings Theatre, level 2, and start at 18:30. Entry is free.
