Now, it's OK to sit there and say our Social Services and Community Committee was full of lawyers and advocates and caregivers and all this other stuff, but until you've been on the end of a system that has broken you down to the point where you don't know where to go, you can never really fully understand what it feels like to be a youth that has got absolutely no strength left in them to fight anymore. These youth are up here fighting for the rights of the next generation and the people that come after them so that they don't suffer the same fate as those in the past that have been ignored and unheard. These are not just youth that don't know what they're talking about. These are youth that have been through the pain of a system that has let them down. These are youth that understand the consequences when Oranga Tamariki and complaints systems don't work.
