We are dealing with a once-in-a-generation crisis, and we need to use all the tools at our disposal to keep each other accountable to the people we are here to represent. Tangata whenua know what happens when pandemics are not managed properly. It is our people who bear the brunt of the virus. Throughout this pandemic, our people have been leading their own responses. We exercised our mana motuhake to lead our own solutions, to protect our whakapapa for the generations to come. We oppose this bill as we have done in the past. Kia ora tātou katoa.
