Waititi Rawiri; Webb DuncanRAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Pāti Māori ): Smoke and mirrors; that's all this is. nce again I will reiterate that what we have is a Government—a Pākehā Government—that has released a Pākehā Budget for a Pākehā economy; always has been for the last 100 years. It's not a 100-day plan; this is a 100-year plan to continue to entrench a Pākehā economy lock out any type of Māori economy and to address the real issues here that continue to keep Māori in second place. That's what Te Tiriti o Waitangi was about: the protection of the pre-existing rights of tangata whenua.This is the most anti-Māori Budget in a generation: attacks on Māori ward representation; demolishing the Māori Health Authority; removing section 7AA provisions at Oranga Tamariki; rushing through the fast-track approvals bill; a 45 percent cut from Matariki funding; erasing te reo Māori from the Public Service; $40 million cut for supply and capability of Māori housing; $2 million cut for Aotearoa Reorua Bilingual Towns and Cities; a $6 million cut for the Mana Ōrite agreement between the Justice Sector Leadership Board and Ināia Tonu Nei to help transform the justice sector; a $96.7 million cut to Māori Development including Te Tumu Paeroa; trying to remove the Treaty from legislation; $21.9 million cut for mātauranga and iwi-focused qualifications; a $4 million cut pertaining to strengthening Māori education; $37 million cut from backing mātauranga Māori to reduce emissions; $35.5 million cut disestablishing the Māori Health Authority; a $9.5 million cut to claimant funding for historical Treaty claimants; and a $25 million on-hold for iwi and community-led rangatahi district courts. This is a shameful Budget. This is a shameful Budget. It is the most anti-Māori Budget in a generation.The evidence does not lie. If Maori make up 20 percent of this country's population a by Māori for Māori to Māori" approach means that Māori should get 20 percent of the total Budget. Absolutely. But we are sick and tired of Pākehā Governments continuing to fund themselves on the dysfunction it has created amongst Māori: 50 percent of the male prison population is Māori; 64 percent of the female prison population is Māori; 80 percent of Oranga Tamariki is Maori. We need to look at other solutions and Māori solutions "by Māori for Māori to Māori" not "by Pāhekā to Māori". That does not work and it hasn't worked. We don't need reform. Reform is just a sugar-coated mechanism to make us better servants to the system. We need constitutional transformation. We need constitutional transformation. This is why 20 percent will give us $36 billion for a "by Māori to Māori" approach to all of those particular kaupapa and that's being generous. It would be about $40 billion if it was based on need.Instead over $3 million of targeted Māori funding has been cut while some initiatives have been completely scrapped. Māori are not mentioned once in the priority areas of this Budget. The Māori development section of the Budget summary only talks about savings; it makes no mention of new Government commitments. They have no ideas—they have no ideas. There is no new legislation to come out to look at based on need the data and the statistics that continuously put Māori at the bottom of the heap. Let's look at health for an example. You've got an Associate Minister for Health advising Pharmac to ignore any of its obligations to Te Tiriti o Waitangi when there are huge health inequities that Māori have when it comes to accessing medication. We're dying seven to 10 years earlier than anybody else. This is the statistics that don't lie. I have a solution. Let's just take this for instance: if your NHI is worth $400 each somebody is collecting $400—and don't break my flow please Mr Speaker; I'm on a roll.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): I know you're on a roll but Mr Waititi just to recount that you have already spoken in this debate. Just speaking to Standing Order 110 "Member may speak only once to a question"—"Except as otherwise provided a member may speak only once to a question before the House"—it has been brought to my attention that you have already done that in this debate.RAWIRI WAITITI: So what does that mean? Can we carry on with the time? The time is the Te Pāti Māori time so can we carry on with—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): With another speaker.Hon Dr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Point of order. I was enjoying that. I seek leave of the House that Mr Waititi continue his speech.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): Can you ask that again Mr Webb?Hon Dr DUNCAN WEBB: I seek leave that this House permit Mr Waititi to continue with his speech.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Teanau Tuiono): Leave has been sought for that purpose. Are there any objections? There is an objection. Debbie Ngarewa-Packer can continue."
