Off the back of the pandemic response, it seems crazy that the Government realises that the success of the Māori COVID response could be replicated across social service delivery, economic development, environment restoration—go figure. We may then be seeing in this Budget a wholesale devolution of funding to Māori organisations to continue this success model to enable us to do what we do best, which is look after own and lead as kaitiaki. That would have been revolutionary. It would have allowed us to realise our dreams for self-determination and self-sufficiency in an Aotearoa where our mokopuna have everything they need to thrive and are supported to grow up and be proud to be Māori. That would be a Budget that truly delivered for Māori and honoured Te Tiriti.
