Dr JAMES McDOWALL (ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. Talofa lava, mālō e lelei, bula vinaka, kia ora koutou katoa. I rise on behalf of the ACT Party in support of the apology to our Pacific communities for the trauma and injustice of the Dawn Raids in the 1970s. The Dawn Raids were the result of State-enforced policies that were violently imposed, undoubtedly racist, and totally unjustified. That era was a terrible example of the power of the State to persecute and to humiliate people who were simply here to answer the call to fill workforce shortages and to strive towards a better life for their families.
