Jackson WillieHon WILLIE JACKSON (Associate Minister for Māori Development): That's a shocking speech from a very good man Nuk Koroko—one of the best people in the National Party but sadly a very shocking and sad speech.Look I need to say this slowly. First of all can I mihi to our Minister for Māori Development doing a great job and our chair Rino Tirikatene. I need to say this slowly for the Opposition. I'll do it really slowly for the Opposition: Māori people aren't all part of Māori Development. Māori people: most don't speak Māori. Most Māori people are not affiliated with Māori organisations. Minister Finlayson knows this. Most Māori people just—Hon Christopher Finlayson: I'm not a Minister.Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Well the former Minister. Thank God for that too. But in terms of where Māori are they're not part of Māori organisations. We want them all speaking Te Reo. We want them all part of Whānau Ora. We want them to all watch Māori Television. We want them to all listen to Māori radio. But they don't—but they don't. So Nuk Koroko needs to get it through his head that we have to legislate for the majority of people. We don't live our world around a measly Māori-targeted budget.The Opposition has to understand that most Māori want good housing and they want jobs. This is what we campaigned on not the measly Māori-targeted budget. It's a measly amount. So don't hang your hat on a Māori budget while the whole world is falling down because that's what the Māori Party did. They said We got $100 million." Meanwhile they sold of State house rentals. Meanwhile they had the dirty rotten filthy Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill. Meanwhile they had kōhanga reo and never paid equity funding there. The whole world's falling down and Nuk and his Māori Party friends hang their hat on a measly Māori budget.Māori are everywhere. Māori are in Porirua and they're in Wellington. They don't know about that targeted budget Nuk; they just know about their bills day to day. And so therefore you have to legislate for the majority of Māori. The majority of Māori sadly are not into taha Māori things. And so what did we do? We gave our people funding in the Families Package—a family package of $1.2 billion. The Budget targets 181000 Māori children. What don't you understand about that? What does the Opposition not understand? Does the Opposition not understand that Māori are New Zealanders?Nuk Korako: So get rid of Te Puni Kōkiri (TPK) then. Get rid of TPK. What do you need TPK for?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Māori are New Zealanders too Nuk. Māori are New Zealanders too: 180000 children are going to benefit from a universal package. Accommodation supplement: $265 million to Māori whānau—$265 million to—Nuk Korako: Not to Māori whānau. It's not targeted.Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Do those whānau not count or do you just want to give funding in your measly targeted funding area? How stupid is the Opposition? That's the question today.Simeon Brown: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson.CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): Before you say when I call a point of order the members sit down immediately. Simeon Brown: The member opposite was bringing you into the debate.CHAIRPERSON (Adrian Rurawhe): Now I'm going to rule on this. From the rest of this session up to 6 p.m. while I'm in the chair let's reduce that right down on both sides of the Chamber please. While I'm on my feet the Hon Willie Jackson needs to speak to this part of the debate about what is in the Estimates report.Nicola Willis: Have you read them?Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Oh I've absolutely read them. And I'm talking about all the funding that's gone towards Māori in a universal sense. So what we've done is have a two-pronged attack here through universal funding where we've got family supplements going to our people—that the Opposition don't understand because they're far too slow—and we've of course got special funding that's going out in terms of Te Reo Māori. I know this is very hard for the Opposition to understand but Māori people are New Zealanders too and we deserve to be supported and funded and resourced in the different areas. There is huge funding going to Māori. There is more funding to Māori than ever in the history of the New Zealand Parliament. It's amazing really.In terms of the young people rangatahi: $14 million—$14 million. Read that book: $14 million going to young people in terms of finding work. And that's under He Poutama Rangatahi. That's a fund that the former Government refused to manage and refused to get out to the regions. We're putting that money out amongst the regions now through He Poutama Rangatahi and our rangatahi $14 million fund going out through Te Puni Kōkiri is going to hit our people in the city. We are so pleased with how things are going Māori members. I know the Hon Chris Finlayson agrees with me. He knows that we're targeting Māori in a universal sense and in a targeted sense and well done Māori caucus."
