People like Timoti, who joined the committee to talk about why this legislation is needed and to protect young people in the formative stages of their lives. He joined us one morning, as my colleagues in the House have reflected on, when we were split into the many subcommittees that heard these submissions, and it was just me and the Hon Simon Bridges. He shared with us some really powerful reflections on growing up as a young Māori man. He told us that we didn't need a crystal ball to see the harm done to Māori over generations by practices intended to change our identity, to mould us into something other than our unique identity. He told us to look to the high rates of depression, of suicide, and of incarceration borne by Māori—mostly Māori men like him. Whether it's the denial of our reo or our sexuality and gender, Māori are living proof that intolerance of expression and identity damages not only the individual but their children, their whānau, and their whakapapa.
