Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister for Disability Issues): Budget 2022 underlined the Government's commitment to deliver change for the disability community by funding the establishment of a new ministry. Tomorrow, I will launch the new Ministry for Disabled People at an event here at Parliament. This will be a historic day that has been 40 years in the making. This will be the first ministry of disabled people in any comparable jurisdiction. It will also be the first ministry with a New Zealand Sign Language name, as well as te reo Māori and English names. The launch of the ministry marks a new chapter for approximately 1.1 million disabled people in New Zealand and is a significant step towards realising true partnership between Government and disabled people—tāngata whaikaha—their whānau, carers, and supporters. It is a privilege to step into this role at such a crucial time for the community and to build on the incredible work of my colleague the Hon Carmel Sepuloni.
