We continue to see our w'ānau disproportionately suffering complex social problems, including high rates of poverty and the worst youth suicide rate in the developed world. It should hardly be a surprise, then, that this remains the situation for our people when the so-called Wellbeing Budget only delivered 0.3 percent of its overall funding in targeted Māori funding. A true measure of Budget success is how many structural barriers were removed, how many of our people's aspirations were advanced, because only then will we make a real difference for our w'ānau.
