Massive NZ treaty protest urges Luxon to kill the bill

One of New Zealand's largest-ever protest movements has concluded in Wellington, where tens of thousands of Kiwis took to the streets to oppose a government bill to re-define the Treaty of Waitangi in law.

The "hikoi mo te Tiriti" began at the northernmost tip of New Zealand 10 days ago with a few hundred in attendance.
