Maipi-Clarke Hana-RawhitiHANA-RAWHITI MAIPI-CLARKE (Te Pāti Māori—Hauraki-Waikato): Tēnā koe e te Pīka otirā tēnā rā tātou e te Whare. E tū ana ahau hei waha i ngā kōrero mō Te Pāti Māori mō tēnei pire o Te Aka Whai Ora. [Thank you Mr Speaker; indeed greetings to all of us of this House. I stand to give voice to the statements of Te Pāti Māori for this bill on Te Aka Whai Ora.]I'm going to be talking on (a) (b) (c) (d) A E I O U (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)" because basically this whole bill in itself knowing that we are taking a Māori Health Authority amendment bill rushing through urgency is a complete breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in its full context and even looking at this bill with only a couple of hours to look at it I see that "mātauranga Māori" has been axed and replaced with "cultural safety". Now that is a huge concern knowing that this coalition Government has no rules or regulations or complete conscious awareness of what cultural safety actually is with their 100-day coalition plan. Knowing that they are going to replace mātauranga Māori—well what is the plan? What is the strategy? What does that mean by taking out mātauranga Māori—is that the "Tohunga Suppression Act 2.0"? Also bringing in Peeni Henare's amendment to new section 15 in clause 11 of a targeted approach—now why I'm looking at that is because Māori have a completely different way in the way that we engage we interact and we service our health and our different perspective on life in a te ao Māori context world view and that's even looking at bringing up Wai 262 and the way that we bring in Māori data sovereignty. So that is a huge concern in this amendment bill.I want to ask the Minister of Health what are the different strategies that he is proposing to deliver on Māori health outcomes knowing that us in Waikato—we have been proposing strategies for decades. Even if we look at Princess Te Puia Hērangi in 1930 which is when she wanted the aspiration and goals to establish a Maōri hospital at Māhinerangi in Tūrangawaewae House. We are now in 2024 and we—her mokopuna—are still fighting for those exact aspirations and dreams. Te Aka Whai Ora was a step to that realisation and I'm also standing here. I could not not stand up purely because I am a mokopuna of the original claimants in the Maōri health claim Wai 2575 and also Wai 3307. Actually the Wai 3307 claim was tabled in 2005 when I was only two years old and actually my grandparents were the ones who tabled this health claim. I want to ask the Minister why has he not had consultation with these original claimants like Tureiti Moxon Taitimu Maipi and the many different mātanga and experts in this field knowing that they've given decades upon decades of work to the establishment of a Māori Health Authority but also as a larger context looking at the mahi and blood sweat and tears that they have done in terms of the Wai health claims bringing that forward to a Waitangi Tribunal.Also knowing that we do have the strategies it's ironic that members across keep shouting that Māori need to retain their self-responsibility. Well that's exactly what we want to do. That is actually tino rangatiratanga. It is self-responsibility. We want to have self-responsibility over our health over our data sovereignty and over our outcomes but we can't because the Crown is in charge of that. Yeah I'm looking at the time—oh e āhei ana au—CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): Yeah keep going—keep going.HANA-RAWHITI MAIPI-CLARKE: OK thank you—cool. Also looking at the way that we want to have self-responsibility over our tino rangatiratanga for our health and outcome deliverables—for example my grandmother actually and Ramari and also other rūruhi within our community such as manu Tutata Matatahi who were the first ever Māori community health workers on their own marae. We have the strategies in place. Those were our grandparents and now we can't come to a third generation where we are—Madam Chair can I take this second call?CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke you may. HANA-RAWHITI MAIPI-CLARKE: Cool—ngā mihi nui ki a koe. Also if we look at the mahi that whaea Tipa Mahuta has done and if we look at the I guess layer of colonisation that has affected us specifically in Waikato-Tainui with the Raupatu settlement claim I quote from Sir Governor Grey. In 1863 he actually said that Māori—he had never seen such healthy kids anywhere else in the world other than in Waikato and such fertile land. In 1863 Sir Governor Grey said that.Our job as Kīngitanga our job as an iwi our job as a post-settlement iwi our job as Wai claimants and our job as third-generation mokopuna is to make that we peel back those layers of decolonisation. So I want to ask the Minister what he is going to do to make sure that we are shredding those layers because us as Māori looking at in a Māori context world-lens view we don't just look at the physical outcome of health but—like what Tā Mason Durie has done in his amazing mahi—we are actually looking at a Whare Tapa Whā a complete holistic awareness of a Whare Tapa Whā approach. So yep that's what I have to say and if this Government keeps saying we're woke they must be asleep. E oho ana tātou e moe ana koutou. [We are awake you are asleep.]Ngā mihi ki a koutou."
