As was so accurately put in the submission of Hon Dame Tariana Turia, Dame Areta Koopu, Dame Iritana Tāwhiwhirangi, Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, and Lady Tureiti Moxon, this bill relegates tangata whenua to the provider level and, effectively, maintains a system that is destructive. Despite submissions from dozens of kaupapa Māori organisations, hauora groups, community groups, Māori legal academics, and NGOs, the Government continues to ignore their calls for change. Of 403 submissions on this bill—403 submissions on this bill—only eight were in favour. A mihi to the young 16-year-old Ihorangi Reweti-Peters, who's been upstairs and has been giving evidence on abuse in care, actively opposing this, like many submitters. The Crown has not listened. This is an act of extreme arrogance and represents an abuse of colonial power that has no place in this 21st century.
