CNN —Tens of thousands of people have marched on the New Zealand parliament in Wellington to protest against a bill that critics say strikes at the core of the country’s founding principles and dilutes the rights of Māori people. The traditional peaceful Māori walk, or hīkoi, culminated outside parliament on Tuesday, where protesters implored lawmakers to reject the controversial Treaty Principles Bill that seeks to reinterpret the 184-year-old treaty between British colonizers and hundreds of Māori tribes. “Today is a show of kotahitanga (unity), solidarity and being one as a people and uphold our rights as Indigenous Māori,” marcher Tukukino Royal told Reuters. The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced by David Seymour, leader of the right-wing ACT New Zealand Party, which is a junior coalition partner with the ruling National and New Zealand First parties. Hīkoi leader Eru Kapa-Kingi told the crowd “Māori nation has been born” today and that “Te Tiriti is forever,” RNZ reported.

Several rallies against the Treaty Principles Bill are being staged in towns across the country as a nine-day march, or hikoi, moves to Wellington. An estimated 10,000 people marched through Rotorua, about 280 miles north of Wellington, New Zealand police said in a statement. The ACT New Zealand party, a junior partner in the governing center-right coalition government, last week unveiled the bill, which it had promised during last year’s election. Coalition partners the National Party and New Zealand First are only supporting the legislation through the first of three readings. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon reaffirmed on Thursday that his National Party would not support the bill’s progress beyond the first reading.

REUTERS —New Zealand’s parliament was briefly suspended on Thursday after Maori members staged a haka to disrupt the vote on a contentious bill that would reinterpret a 184-year-old treaty between the British and Indigenous Maori. Rulings by the courts and a separate Maori tribunal have progressively expanded Maori rights and privileges over the decades. Parliament was briefly suspended as people in the gallery joined in, and shouting drowned out others in the chamber. ACT New Zealand leader David Seymour said people who oppose the bill want to “stir up” fear and division.

The apology follows a report by a public inquiry in July that found some 200,000 children and vulnerable adults in state and faith-based care experienced some form of abuse from 1950 to 2019. “Today, I am apologizing on behalf of the government to everyone who suffered abuse, harm and neglect while in care. A bill to include a range of measures to improve safety in state care was to have its first reading in Parliament on Tuesday. The inquiry detailed a litany of abuses in state and faith-based care, including rape, sterilization and the use of electric shocks, which peaked in the 1970s. It also called for new legislation, including mandatory reporting of suspected abuse, including admissions made during religious confession.

And it should never have happened,” Luxon said, as he spoke to lawmakers and a public gallery packed with survivors of the abuse. An estimated 200,000 people in state, foster and faith-based care suffered “unimaginable” abuse over a period of seven decades, a blistering report released in July said at the end of the largest inquiry ever undertaken in New Zealand. “For many of you it changed the course of your life, and for that, the government must take responsibility,” Luxon said. “Words do matter and I say these words with sincerity: I have read your stories, and I believe you,” he added. Of 650,000 children and vulnerable adults in state, foster, and church care between 1950 and 2019 — in a country that today has a population of 5 million — nearly a third endured physical, sexual, verbal or psychological abuse.

An angry-looking mynah bird has become a viral video star after landing directly in front of a highway traffic camera in New Zealand. The black-and-yellow tropical bird stares curiously into the camera overlooking a section of road near Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, its beak open as it appears to squawk loudly. Mynah birds, which have the ability to mimic human speech and are often kept as pets, are native to Asia. “A mynah annoyance like this can make the roads a bit tricky to see,” the agency said. “Thankfully the mynah didn’t stick around long and our bird’s eye view of the road was soon restored.”

Fire and Emergency New ZealandThe blaze poses a major risk to the wetland ecosystem, an important habitat that’s found in few other places, experts say. But even before the blaze, the Waikato wetland, like many other unique habitats in New Zealand, was at risk due to environmental degradation and the climate crisis. But when these carbon sinks come under threat, that stored carbon can be released back into the environment. As the fire burns it’s too soon to assess the extent of its damage or impact on the ecosystem, Jones told RNZ.

☆ New Zealand to update inclusion guidelines for transgender athletes
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +2 min

New Zealand will update its guidelines on transgender athletes in community sport following criticism from Olympians that the principles ignore female athletes’ rights and undermine fairness and safety. Critics of transgender inclusion in women’s sport say going through male puberty imbues athletes with a huge musculo-skeletal advantage that transition does not mitigate. Supporters of transgender participation argue that not enough research has been done into the impact of transition on athletic performance and excluding transgender athletes amounts to discrimination. Sport NZ’s “Guiding Principles for the Inclusion of Transgender People in Community Sport” do not apply to elite sport. Individual sports in New Zealand govern how transgender athletes participate at elite levels.

WELLINGTON — A Royal New Zealand Navy vessel ran aground and sank off Samoa but all 75 crew and passengers on board were safe, the New Zealand Defense Force said in a statement on Sunday. Several vessels responded and assisted in rescuing the crew and passengers who had left the ship in lifeboats, Arndell said. The cause of the grounding was unknown and would need further investigation, New Zealand Defense Force said. The vessel later capsized and was below the surface by 9 a.m. local time, New Zealand Defense Force said. New Zealand’s Navy is already working at reduced capacity with three of its nine ships idle due to personnel shortages.

☆ Ancient DNA adds to evidence debunking theory of Easter Island collapse

CNN —Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, never experienced a ruinous population collapse, according to an analysis of ancient DNA from 15 former inhabitants of the remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Settled by Polynesian seafarers 800 years ago, Rapa Nui, today part of Chile, has hundreds of monumental stone heads that echo of the past. But that theory remains contentious, and other archaeological evidence suggests that Rapa Nui was home to a small but sustainable society. Easter Island genomesTo investigate Rapa Nui’s history further, researchers sequenced the genomes of 15 former residents who lived on the island during the past 400 years. But the ancient genomes add to a growing body of evidence that the idea of a self-inflicted population collapse on Easter Island is a false narrative, said Matisoo-Smith, who wasn’t involved in the study.

A charity working with homeless people in Auckland, New Zealand unknowingly distributed candies filled with potentially lethal doses of methamphetamine in its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public. The City Missioner, Helen Robinson, said eight families, including at least one child, had reported consuming the contaminated candies since Tuesday. Auckland City Mission was alerted Tuesday by a food bank client who reported “funny-tasting” candy. It was not clear how many had been distributed in that time and how many were made of methamphetamine. Some of those who had received the food parcels were clients of the charity’s addiction service and the news that drugs had been distributed had provoked distress.

Canada have qualified for the quarterfinals of the Olympic women’s soccer competition — despite the defending champions being deducted six points for spying on opponents earlier in the group stage. Canada were deducted six points by FIFA for flying a drone over opponents New Zealand’s training sessions ahead of the Games, and a wider spying scandal subsequently emerged. The points deduction was handed down ahead of the second group fixture against France, leaving Canada on minus three points in Group A and on the cusp of elimination. Canada arrived at the 2024 Games as the defending champions after winning a surprise gold in Tokyo.
