Hayes Jo; Williams PotoJO HAYES (National): Kei hea Whānau Ora—where is Whānau Ora? Kei te ngaro kei te ngaro kei te ngaro—it is missing it is missing and it is missing and that's not good enough.It's not good enough that the Government Māori Ministers did not fight at the Budget table for funding for Whānau Ora even though in the manifesto leading up to them becoming Government there was a $20 million promise over four years that was put in as a promise to those delivering Whānau Ora. How disappointed they all are. When the very founder of Whānau Ora the Hon Dame Tariana Turia comes out and says that she is disappointed—disappointed—in this Government for not funding Whānau Ora it says a lot. It says a lot. It says a lot that she has had to come out and say something like that and I am sure that being disappointed actually weighed more heavily in her thoughts rather than what came out of her mouth.We talk about the broken promises in the House. They are broken promises that this Government made to Māori—big broken promises. The reduction in Māori development funding is a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace and it seems to be the mantra of a Labour-led Government that Māori suffer even though it was Māori that actually gave their support through the Māori electorates for all those seats to go to Labour. How disappointed and how regretful they all must be over this terrible Budget that this Labour Government has given to this country.I want to quote what the Chair of Te Pou Matakana Merepeka Raukawa-Tait said about the Budget. She said It's a broken promise. It's a kick in the guts to Māori." That's absolutely terrible that our leaders are standing up and saying that.When the Minister for Whānau Ora stood up yesterday and spoke in this House and said there were whānau from Whānau Ora that supported this Budget I don't know who he was referring to because the groups that I've been talking to—the commissioning agencies and the whānau—are very disappointed. They've lost faith in this Government. They're not going anywhere. When the Minister for Whānau Ora stood up at the Blenheim Whānau Ora symposium and said "Whānau Ora isn't going anywhere." boy did he mean it. It's gone absolutely nowhere because there's no support from this Government for Whānau Ora.I'll keep harping on about it and harping on because this Government is responsible to all the peoples of this country. By putting the funding and spreading it across into mainstream funding how will there be accountability measures that whānau will actually gain the services and get access to those services? I've worked in this industry. I know that it is really difficult to actually get those pure numbers out of those providers out of the large providers. I know that Whānau Ora providers can deliver and they do deliver. They bring people in that are the hardest—those with the highest needs for health and education—and they get them to their services. Their Whānau Ora plans are built like that and yet this Government gives them nothing—absolutely nothing. It is disgraceful—very very disgraceful.And Māori education suffered as well. There were many broken promises around that as well. Te Kotahitanga the Māori teacher training programme—they promised to fund that but that never went anywhere. Nobody will get anything from Te Kotahitanga. They're building more schools they're fixing up schools they're bringing in extra teachers and they've got a big budget for Te Reo Māori but if there's no learning and education for teachers to teach Te Reo Māori then it just seems to be a waste of time.I just want to end my contribution by quoting a message that I got from a principal of a kura kaupapa Māori tuarua. He says "Money is an opportunity for education but will be spent on existing structures of teacher training and schools that will invariably perpetuate the status quo of Māori failure." Listen to what that principal has to say Government—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Order! I apologise to the member."
