In order for us to have an effective oversight system, there are several things we need. Firstly, we need a loud and strong advocate not afraid to call out Government and the systems we have in place; an advocate that will have the flexibility, diversity, and mana to genuinely speak for our children and young people. The Children and Young People's Commission Bill makes this happen by establishing the Children and Young People's Commission. Some stakeholders have raised concerns about this and that it could diminish the power of the Children's Commissioner, but this is simply not the case. This bill adds to the power of the Children's Commissioner so that they have more voices at the table. The commission will be required to have input from a kaupapa Māori perspective and there will be the opportunity for other voices to have a seat at the table, like Pacific and disabilities, as well as care-experienced young people themselves. However, we heard the sector when they said that we needed to retain a Chief Children's Commissioner, and that's what we've done. This bill further adds to their power by increasing the information-access powers they have in order to inquire into system-wide issues. I am looking forward to seeing a more diverse and empowered Children and Young People's Commission.
