Hon ALFRED NGARO: —or a mother. They removed it—the requirement. Now, in removing the requirement for that, it was because the fact is the burden of proof was not there that it was actually working, but they'd forgotten the essential principle about whānau and family. What that has done now is it has, basically, condemned another generation of children to having fatherless families in our communities and in our whānau and family. It was a mechanism to hold to account—that's what it was. There was a discretion already there available that if there were issues of concern or if there were risk factors, they could declare those, so there was no harm. But under this Government, what we've done now is we've continued to have policies on one hand that say we want strong families, but on the other, we remove those principles of fathers taking their responsibility, especially in this case. I believe that that was wrong.
