Lyndon HūhanaHŪHANA LYNDON (Green): Tēnā koe Madam Speaker. The disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora and now the repeal of our smoke-free legislation within hours of each other shows we have a Government that doesn't care for the existing health disparities between Māori and non-Māori and those impacted most in low socio-economic communities. I think about taking from the poor and giving to the rich because as we open the floodgates for more tobacco in our communities it is te Iwi Māori and those of low socio-economic backgrounds that will be most impacted. This bill this legislation in my mind is pōhauhau—it is absurd. It makes me pukuriri—makes me angry. It's just downright pōhēhē—it's wrong. It's wrong because we hear from the Government all night that they're trying to build on the gains that have been made through the generations because yes we have seen reductions. But can I go to the Action on Smoking and Health Year 10 Smokefree Snapshot survey and point out to the Minister that there are unacceptable gaps still between Māori and non-Māori in 14-year-olds who smoke. The Māori stats are 6.2 percent of year 10s across the country; for non-Māori it is 2 percent. That is a huge gap still. Of those young people surveyed 25 percent of them are wāhine Māori. These are taitamariki; these are our future. They are the buffer; they're the inheritors of this change. It is a dramatic change for our country because we have come so far. The smoke-free generation is now gone. It is in the ashtray. As a mother of the smoke-free generation I worry about the future of our young people. I wanted to address the Minister of Māori Development the Hon Tama Potaka because we share children of the same age and appeal to him. For Māori development we need our engine room to be strong and healthy and thriving. But tobacco impacts te Iwi Māori more than any other population in New Zealand; 5000 people die of smoking-related illnesses te nuinga ko te Iwi Māori [the majority of whom are Māori people].What engagement has been done with te Iwi Māori on the proposal to repeal the smoke-free legislation? Well there's been none because there was never a campaign on it. There's been none because there's been no hui. There will be none because we're in urgency and New Zealanders and te Iwi Māori are shut out of the process. So we stand as a small voice to advocate for those who have no voice in this House. I think about iwi accountability. While I have the Minister of Health and the Associate Minister of Health as Ngātiwai uri in the House I'd like to raise the fact that our iwi has invited both Ministers to meet with our people on the marae and talk about their plans to improve Māori health outcomes. E te Minita the Hon Shane Reti and Minita the Hon Casey Costello: Ngātiwai Trust Board posted today reiterating the invitation from 14 December 2023. Nau mai hoki mai ki te kāinga. [Welcome home.]Because in te Iwi Māori accountability isn't every three years when there's an electoral cycle; in te Iwi Māori it happens every day. In te Iwi Māori it happens on your marae and in te Iwi Māori it's in your direct messages as they harass you to say more—when my 80-year-old auntie's messaging me saying Kōtiro you're not saying enough. This is outrageous. Get up!" and I say "Oh auntie there's a tikanga. I can't just get up any time. It's not the marae." But that's the passion that's coming from our kāinga and the worry that our people have for now and into the future as we see the smoke-free generation go down the toilet into the ashtray and out into the harbour.May I invite this Government to consider presenting their plan quickly because the people of New Zealand need to know tomorrow—what is the plan?—not in six months' time. You're repealing this now and yet you didn't need to. Put it through the Health Committee—we're all here listening we just had our chair speak—and let the people of New Zealand in for once. Kia ora tātou."
