Davis KelvinHon KELVIN DAVIS (Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti): Thank you Madam Chair. I'd just like to respond to some of the accusations that have been made in the last 10 minutes around this Government. First of all what has this Government done—where is Te Reo Māori in schools? Well I don't know where the member who just sat down Dan Bidois has been for the last couple of months. He obviously missed the announcement—it was in the newspapers it was on TV we had a big launch and it was called Te Ahu o te Reo Māori.Let me explain what Te Ahu o te Reo Māori is. Te Ahu o te Reo Māori is our promise to integrate Te Reo Māori throughout the school curriculum by 2025. What have we done for Te Reo Māori in schools? We have launched Te Ahu o te Reo Māori. It's been launched in four regions. Waikato-Tainui is one Taranaki-Whanganui is another Horowhenua is the third and Te Wai Pounamu around Ngāi Tahu is the fourth area. We expect 700 teachers to take part in that. In the five or so weeks since that launch has been had we've had over 500 teachers ask to be part of Te Ahu o te Reo Māori. It's where we help them from whatever level their language ability is at; we help them and we help them to grow further. We have face-to-face support we have online support and we have resources. So when Dan Bidois stands up and says What has the Government been doing in terms of Te Reo Māori in our schools?" it's obvious that he's been doing the Rip Van Winkle for the last few weeks and been sound asleep while we've been making announcements.Then the other announcement that we had a week afterwards was Te Kawa Matakura. Te Kawa Matakura is a programme that brings back the traditional mātauranga Māori. In our schools we have NCEA and things like that. Now the big question that I heard in 2004 at the hui mātauranga Māori in Tūwharetoa was we want our Māori students to be achieving as Māori. Getting NCEA proves that you achieve; it doesn't mean to say that you are achieving as Māori and Te Kawa Matakura is bringing back old-time true mātauranga Māori. Now these are things that the previous Government never ever considered and I think that Dan Bidois should stand and apologise because as I say he hasn't been keeping awake.Then I want to just address something that Jo Hayes raised. When I look here on page 611 around the Ministry of Māori Development Te Puni Kōkiri (TPK) the financial performance it says "The ministry is funded mainly through Vote Māori Development. In 2017/18 its revenue was $73.204 million (about 11 percent more than in 2016/17)." But she stands up there and she first of all says the Government just got $35 million for Māori. Then a few minutes later after a bit of waffle she says the Government gave $56 million for Māori. Now what is it Jo Hayes? Is it $35 million for Māori or is it $56 million for Māori? Well it's neither. It says here on page 611 that its revenue for TPK was $73 million 11 percent more than in 2016/17 11 percent more than the previous Government gave to Te Puni Kōkiri—not $35 million not $56 million but $73 million. So another person has been asleep at the wheel. She sat in on the select committee. Surely she must have seen this read it heard it. I mean this book's available for everybody. This is what we refer to when we come here and talk about these reviews and she didn't see the headline: 11 percent more in 2016/17 $73.204 million.Then the final thing is Te Mātāwai. Te Mātāwai was established by the previous Minister for Māori Development the Hon Te Ururoa Flavell. It wasn't quite complete the Hon Nanaia Mahuta has taken that to hand. We've established the Maihi Karauna. It has audacious goals to raise the numbers of Māori speakers—a million Māori speakers by 2040 I think is the audacious goal. What are we doing for Māori? We're doing a hell of a lot more than that previous Government over there who's sitting there throwing paper rocks at us. Honestly they're bouncing off because we know that we've done more than they ever did for Māori."
