When this bill was introduced and our people became aware of the provisions, there was a large outcry from tangata whenua. This is for a number of reasons, but in particular because, just like the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020, the bill would have enabled State officers to enter marae without consent or warrant. We are glad that the select committee has listened to our people's submissions and removed the warrantless search provisions for marae. The bill now requires owners' consent on par with private homes. The new wording is "A compliance officer must not enter a home or a marae under this section, except with the consent of an occupier." This is a good change, and we acknowledge that the select committee in this instance were actually listening to the many hapū and iwi Māori organisations who submitted. However, the Crown should not have proposed this in the first place, and wasted the time and resources of our people, who were then forced to submit and lobby to protect their rights as tangata whenua.
