As is well-known, I am a member of the National Party and the National Party does not support this bill. I concur with that, and the reason I do is premised on my lifetime of experience, reality, and pragmatism. I am well aware over the decades, of the findings and the recommendations that have come from many in the way of legal jurisprudence and jurisdictions of the Waitangi Tribunal, but importantly the mātauranga and the whakaaro of my tūpuna and my ancestors. I draw on that also, importantly, because this bill is premised on a hope that this will address the disparity of health inequities in our nation for Māori. However, Māori are not the only peoples of this nation of Aotearoa.
