A Budget that delivered for Māori and honoured Te Tiriti would invest in the prevention of crime through kaupapa Māori philosophy. It would defund racist systems that target, harass, and kill our people. Te Paati Māori has been absolutely consistent in highlighting that the new funding for police and corrections will not address the drivers of crime. What it will lead to is even more dead Māori on the streets, and, as my tungāne Rawiri has said, we can't police and jail our way out of problems caused by failing education and failing health, housing, and welfare systems. The burden of harassment, arrest, conviction, and imprisonment are all carried disproportionately by Māori.
