Mana has the fifth-highest population of Pacific peoples, almost triple the national average. A fifth of our population are Māori and one-quarter of our population are born overseas. History shows that economic recessions hit Pacific, Māori, and migrant communities the hardest, so I'm proud to be part of a Government that not only represents our communities more but one that has Pacific, Māori, and migrants at the table to help make those decisions so that our people are not left behind.
