       In my view, Goldsmith is wrong here. My understand is that the Treaty is fundamentally about a relationship between the Crown and tangata whenua. Because that relationship has been breached and fractured over time by the Crown, Treaty settlements have been agreed upon to ensure that not only are past wrongs acknowledged, and where possible, put right, but as importantly the on-going relationship is put on a firmer, more equitable basis.  Treaty settlements are not an end in and of themselves, but the basis for an ongoing relationship. They are "open ended" by design.#NZPolhttps://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/565012/treaty-negotiations-minister-says-settlements-with-iwi-can-t-be-open-ended

You can't screw a friend over, really badly, then say 'you've got 2 weeks to tell me what compensation you want, and I get to determine what's fair, and then we're all good, right?'That's not how you maintain a good faith relationship.
