Korako NukNUK KORAKO (National): Tēnā koe e Te Kaiwhakahaere. Can I first of all start by acknowledging the previous speaker Rino Tirikatene our new chair of the Māori Affairs Committee? It's nice to see that it's stayed under the Ngāi Tahu watch anyway. I'd also acknowledge the new Minister for Māori Development the Hon Nanaia Mahuta and also Minister Peeni Henare.I just want to pick up on one point that the previous speaker actually covered which is that there are actually a number of new innovations and projects that have been undertaken by Te Puni Kōkiri. I think that if you look at that reflect back to the extra funding actually that was given back in 2016-17 for that year it went up actually by 23 percent—so from $184 million to $226 million. That was actually new money that was given to support those new programmes. I think the other part of it too in what the previous speaker was talking about is that there were actually some real concerns back in that 2015-16 financial year and under that review there were things like risk management contract management performance reporting and also employee severance payments and all of that. I think the report that we got back from the auditor was the fact that it had improved immensely. I just want to acknowledge those things that I've just said because that was on the National Government watch and those were the things that we actually put in place.I think moving forward though particularly on one other important bill—it was a major bill during our time in Government—and that was as you said Te Pire mō Te Reo Māori / Māori Language Bill. The actual journey the hīkoi of that is I think really continuing on but I think there's just one thing that we need to actually raise a flag on and that is the fact that we did actually have Te Maihi Māori Te Mātāwai in there actually talking about the really important things that they were doing. They were already up and running but I think what we should be actually also flagging is that we still haven't got Te Maihi Karauna part of that strategy up and running yet. I believe it's coming out shortly. But you know these two need to work in Kota hitaka. They need to work in unison. So I think it's important that we flag that and hopefully that is actually going to happen.Look finally there was as you say Te Māngai Pāho which actually came to our committee. I think one of the things I want to talk about is Māori broadcasting. One thing particularly when you look at Māori broadcasting—when it comes under Vote Māori Development there's the administration of Māori broadcasting Māori television and Māori radio broadcasting with appropriations in the last review of about $112 million. But one thing is that Māori media platforms are really one of the few avenues that Māori have to communicate their views. National acknowledges that kaupapa that Māori don't speak in one voice. It's actually multiple types of voices needing multiple platforms. What I'm greatly concerned about is that Māori are being used as scapegoats now because of the Minister of Broadcasting Communications and Digital Media's train wreck at the moment which is actually through lack of openness. We've already seen no Māori put on the public media funding ministerial advisory group. We've already seen our own Māori broadcaster Carol Hirschfeld sacrificed because of the broadcasting Minister's lack of openness and transparency. I struggle to believe though that Te Puni Kōkiri and the Minister for Māori Development would have agreed to either of these two outcomes for Māori. I think the important thing looking forward is we need clarification because we know that in that whole thing about the Labour manifesto originally—$38 million promised each year to public broadcasting. There it is and yet we've got no Māori actually sitting on that advisory group. That there is a travesty and that is something that we actually need to address. The fact is this broadcasting Minister is actually working to the detriment of Māori and that's one thing that we actually need to address because at the end of the day there may be one single platform.
