Davidson MaramaHon MARAMA DAVIDSON (Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence): Thank you Mr Speaker. That was a perfect lead-in from my colleague Angie Warren-Clark because I want to stand in this time to acknowledge that yesterday was a big day for the work to eliminate family violence and sexual violence for so many over so long—many many decades—who have been attempting to do this work for so long. The strategy Te Aorerekura that we launched yesterday is a start of a 25-year plan that we have never had before. Successive Governments decades and decades of lesser attempts have failed to reach the vision that I know we all want which is for everyone to be able to live in their homes and communities in peace and free of violence to be able to put your hand up when you need help and expect to be believed to be respected and to be given the support you need when you need it and for however long you need it. And this strategy is doing things differently because we need to.I am so proud as the first Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence to have been able to lead and launch the strategy that was the culmination of the work of so many including my ministerial colleagues and our MPs like the member Angie Warren-Clark who have long-held work insight and experience in this work. And there are so many others—the work that was led out by my colleague under-secretary Jan Logie last term and the sector the experts tangata whenua and community our agencies working together. That is something that we have never seen before in the work to address family violence. And yes this is the start line but it is a start line that we have never had. I am so proud and pleased because this strategy was created by the sector by community with tangata whenua with our agencies and so I am proud of the feedback and the hope that it has given to people to the sector to ordinary people for their lives and how it is going to improve.We have not ever had a coordinated approach to eliminating family violence and sexual violence. We have not had leadership and accountability that is clear and collective across our agencies. We have made accountability for our systems to make sure that they do not re-traumatise and cause further harm for victims and survivors. We have put that line in the sand very clear in Te Aorerekura.I want to also emphasise that for the first time we are focusing on one of the big shifts which includes a prevention focus and a healing and restoration focus. For far too long we have had a workforce that does not understand trauma-informed approaches and that is across the board whether it's education health police Oranga Tamariki the Ministry of Social Development. All across the board and in our community and sector the people were very clear: we must have more trauma-informed approaches more focus on preventing harm from happening in the first place and people to be able to help everyone on their journey of healing and restoration.This strategy also makes it clear that we need to provide support for people who use harm have used harm or are having thoughts or inclinations to using harm. People will see in this strategy very clearly that people who have attitudes or inclination to use harm want help to stop want help to not go there want help to understand where their attitudes and behaviours are coming from and that requires us to move away from an adversarial approach to justice because we want people to understand that they can put their hand up without shame and stigmatisation so that they can stop using and causing harm.The strategy Te Aorerekura also comes with an action plan of 40 actions. It is not just a strategy because we also acknowledge that there are service gaps. There have been service gaps for decades. We have not properly served ethnic people Māori women Pasifika people rainbow people disabled people trans people older people. We have not served many well. So I am proud of Te Aorerekura. Thank you Madam Speaker.The debate having concluded the motion lapsed.
