The Crown negotiation policies, which place everyone in the one-size-fits-all model, are cruel. The fiscal envelope is cruel. They have determined and engineered further division, further harm, and, therefore, further breaches of Te Tiriti. I know the damage this process does to our whānau, to our relationships, to our w'anaungatanga. I also know how important it is to never settle for what was achieved in the past—that we must keep striving to get the justice that our tūpuna deserve and to create a future where our mokopuna can thrive as their true selves.
