My second message is to the Labour Party: you had every opportunity to listen and respond to the concerns but have failed to do so at every stage. Of those who submitted to the select committee, only eight were in support of the bill, while 311 opposed the bill. Included in this were dozens and dozens of kaupapa Māori organisations and agencies representing the children's sector. Labour, you have ignored those with lived experience, who know what it's like to be stuck in a system, to feel unsafe and desperate. You've told them you know better. You say you cannot afford to wait for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State Care, despite taking since 2018 to get to this point.
