Hayes JoJO HAYES (National): Thank you Madam Chair. Well to start with I just want to say to that previous speaker Aupito William Sio that's not how Māori feel about the previous Government the National-led Government. That is not how Māori feel about them. Māori know that it's been through the National-led Government that so many Treaty bills have actually gone through this House. So I refute the words of that previous speaker the Minister speaking in a supposedly authoritarian way about what Māori think about the previous National-led Government. It's a load of rubbish. So I refute that what he said.The previous speaker talked about these speeches being around the 2016-2017 annual reviews and I get that. Unfortunately for that Minister the previous Minister that sat in the chair where he is now actually opened the way. She was the one the Hon Nanaia Mahuta who talked about dropping legislative reform which was Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill and looking at other things around what the Government is going to do over supporting landowners as Māori land owners. So as soon as she said that she opened the way. When the Minister for Whānau Ora got up and started speaking about some of the things that he is doing in the Whānau Ora space he too opened up the ability for us to be able to include those in our speeches. So I don't think that we should be limited to the annual review as such when the Ministers in the chair actually open up the avenue for us to speak on broader-based topics—CHAIRPERSON (Poto Williams): Order! That's a very useful discussion but I will ask you to come back to the annual review thank you.JO HAYES: Yeah I'm going to do that very shortly Madam Chair. I just wanted to get my point across. I just want to focus on under the Māori development portfolio the Whānau Ora section of Māori development. We all know it's been a very great success for the Māori Party. This was their policy and with the partnership with National they managed to get this particular policy through and it has gone on and thousands and thousands of whānau both Māori and Pacific Island have actually benefited from Whānau Ora within the Whānau Ora space. As soon as the Government changed one of the first questions I wanted to ask the new Minister was: what was his plan for Whānau Ora? So I've had to wait over 150 days to actually get that response from him. I'm really pleased that the Minister has been able to appoint a group of reviewers for the Whānau Ora review—a promise that the Labour Party had in their manifesto in 2014 and again in 2017 but it was more around the terms of reference of what was that review going to look like. However I want to congratulate the Minister. He's managed to put an all-women review panel in there which does beggar belief as as you know whānau is not just about women. We must have some men in there too because that's what makes up a wholesome whānau male and female. So a couple of things around that: where are the men positioned in Whānau Ora?The next area I want to talk about is when he spoke about—and in the annual review it talked about that some of the Government agencies that are picking up Whānau Ora. And it's really great. We know about what the police are doing. They've got a very strong process in implementing Whānau Ora right across their ranks and right across all their police stations and that's really good because they have to deal with Māori at the coalface. They're on the streets. They are the ones that are brought in for all incidents and they must understand where Māori and Pasifika are actually coming from when it comes to Whānau Ora and the way that they think within that whole sphere of whānau and hapū and whanaungatanga and their cultural beliefs.The other area which I also want to talk about which the Minister alluded to as part of the other ministries is the Māori strategy He Korowai Oranga. He Korowai Oranga was brought in in 2000. It is not a new thing. It's always been with the Ministry of Health based under Whānau Ora from the Hon Tariana Turia. I just want to say that that will keep on growing. What we need actually—I want to see into the future as He Korowai Oranga goes across all of the Government agencies eventually. I don't know if that's going to happen over this review. We don't know what's going to happen in the review. So in closing all I ask into the future around Whānau Ora is that that Government try and get it right. Because on this side I'll be watching and I will be putting in my two cents' worth around Whānau Ora and where it should go to. So without any further ado I will be ending my contribution. Kia ora.
