It is obvious that the Crown has learnt nothing from the constant controversies surrounding Oranga Tamariki. This is a systemically broken organisation. Racism, paternalism, and cultural disregard run rampant. And yet, in this bill, the Government relegates tangata whenua oversight to a Māori advisory board under a Crown agency within the Education Review Office. It would almost be laughable, if it wasn't so disgraceful. There is no Government department that needs robust, independent, and Treaty-compliant oversight more than a department that has responsibility for child protection.
