Hobson's Pledge is a right-wing lobby group in New Zealand that was formed in late September 2016 to oppose affirmative action for Māori people. It is led by conservative politician Don Brash. The group's primary stated goal is that "All New Zealanders should be equal before the law, irrespective of when they or their ancestors arrived in New Zealand;"[1] which includes removal of the Māori electorates, abolishing the Waitangi Tribunal, restricting tribal powers and to "remove all references in law and in Government policy to Treaty 'partnership' and 'principles'".[2]
