NZ First deputy leader Shane Jones has welcomed debate on the direction of the Treaty of Waitangi.
His comments come only a week from this year's Waitangi Day commemorations, which ACT leader David Seymour says he expects to be 'more tense' than usual.
Coalition government policies pertaining to the Treaty of Waitangi and Māori language have been staunchly opposed by Māori leaders across the country.
Shane Jones spoke to Corin Dann.
