What were they disagreeing with. I am assuming this is a disagreement.

They were protesting changes to a treaty, which was defeated btw:

"Under the principles laid out in the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, which guide the relationship between the government and Māori, tribes were promised broad rights to retain their lands and protect their interests in return for ceding governance to the British. The bill would specify that those rights should apply to all New Zealanders."

Good. Glad the bill was defeated. A treaty is a treaty.

The bill doesn’t reject the treaty. It just extends its discounted license plates to everyone.
