DEBBIE NGAREWA-PACKER (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori) (remote): Tēnā koe e te Pika. Tēnā tātou e te Whare. I stand to speak on behalf of Te Paati Māori in this debate on the Budget Policy Statement. There's been much kōrero in this House about the cost of living crisis, and the reality is poverty, of course, from out-of-reach costs of living has been affecting tangata whenua for a very long time. We acknowledge the latest child poverty stats which showed a downward trend in the last three years, but material hardship for Māori, Pacific, and disabled tamariki and their whānau remains the same. So, yes, as our Minister Kelvin Davis states, New Zealanders are doing OK, but Māori tangata whenua, tangata moana, and disabled whānau aren't.
