This Government's consistent failings in rolling out an equitable vaccination programme, which didn't acknowledge 70 percent of its tangata whenua were under 40 years, has us now 20 percent behind the general population. This Government's failure to provide data that it gives to Pākehā organisations is another reason why we had to go to court, to get it seen and to get it out. This Government's failings to protect its most vulnerable community in tangata whenua, as warned by health experts, now has us making up nearly 50 percent of those infected with the Delta variant, despite only making 18 percent of the population. We make up the highest numbers of cases, 50 consecutive days. We are now past the 3,000 mark. Six Māori deaths, three Māori men between 40 and 50. All this was unnecessary, and now, due to your failings, we have mandates. And then, we add, we are forced into this urgency while you continue to scapegoat Māori; to divide, marginalise, and, indeed, demonise our communities and whānau.
