On April 17, 2017 the National government dismantled the Constitution Room at Archives New Zealand and separated our true constitutional documents from the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Women's Suffrage Petition.

The Declaration, Treaty and Women's Suffrage Petition are being placed in the $7.2 million He Tohu exhibit at the National Library, Wellington, while the Royal Charters and Proclamations that made New Zealand into a British colony under one flag and one law are being placed in Archives New Zealand's repository where they will be forgotten and lost forever amongst the other six million documents. These constitutional documents must now be ordered to research them – if future researchers know they exist.

This corrupt act is to allow the government to write a new constitution based on the Treaty of Waitangi that played absolutely no part in shaping New Zealand or New Zealand becoming a British colony with a political, legal or justice system under one flag and one law, irrespective of race, colour or creed.
