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 aims to nullify the partnership between the Crown and Māori,[1] remove the Māori electorates, abolish the Waitangi Tribunal, restrict tribal powers and "remove all references in law and in Government policy to Treaty 'partnership' and 'principles'".[2]
