I address the House this evening on the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People's Commission Bill at this second reading, with considerable concern and consternation on behalf of the children, our children of Aotearoa New Zealand, who are in State welfare care—not so "wel"; in fact "ill-fared" care, with the oversight of this bill. As indicated, speaking for the National Party, it's a privilege. But I speak this evening on the importance of our children's voices and their views being not only heard and paid lip-service to but listened to and heeded by this Government.
