Justice ministry battles leaks and ministers over Treaty bill

Analysis: Officials at the Ministry of Justice have found themselves defending against attacks on two fronts over their work on the Treaty Principles Bill: leaks by staff opposed to the bill and criticism from the minister in charge of it.
The first blow was struck in January, when a draft Cabinet paper on the controversial legislation was leaked to Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi and to journalists at TVNZ.
