Many families sit around the dinner table discussing politics. Here in New Zealand, a frequent point of discussion is around the Treaty of Waitangi and the current question – did Māori cede sovereignty? Family First’s Simon O’Connor talks with Professor of History, Paul Moon, to get his take on the history of this question. Professor Moon outlines what was happening back in 1840; what various people were likely thinking at the time; and then reflects on what has happened since then. This informative podcast, drawing on historical knowledge, helps inform discussion and debate today.
