That is why a new vision for the health system in Māori health was put forward by Tā Mason Durie, a rangatira who has spent his life fighting and advocating fiercely for hauora Māori. That is why Te Paati Māori supported Tā Mason's vision and included the Māori Health Authority in our policy manifesto in the 2020 election. The establishment of the Māori Health Authority and Health New Zealand is the biggest reform to the health system in generations. We have an opportunity to finally address the barriers that hold us back, even though some are in denial. Therefore, this House must not yet again set up Māori to fail under the new system. Tangata w'enua must have our decision-making authority recognised in the legislation. There are rights guaranteed in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Let's not forget this isn't our first attempt to own our own health solutions as Māori. We remember well that our tupuna Māui Pōmare achieved many of his health strategies only to be later removed as the Minister of Health as it was considered improper by non-Māori—many like ACT—who didn't believe that natives should hold such an important portfolio. For too long, our people have needed a truly transformational health system—by Māori, for Māori—that truly unapologetically addresses our needs.
