Waititi RawiriRAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Pāti Māori): Kia ora. It is my absolute privilege to follow in the wonderful words of the youngest Māori wahine to have ever graced the Chamber in Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke today. What a wonderful kōrero we've heard. This is where the future is. This is what this Budget should be focused on and it does not.What this Budget tells us is that Māori don't matter that we signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi but we continuously allow this House to assume that it has sovereignty and absolute superiority over Māori. Article 1 was the establishment of kāwanatanga over your own people. Article 2 was the protection of the pre-existing rights of tangata whenua to their lands to their homes to their taonga.Today we made a declaration in the name of our mokopuna that we would no longer allow the assumption of this Parliament to have superiority or sovereignty over te Iwi Māori.Now let's look at a kāwanatanga space. We now make up a million people. One in five people here in Aotearoa are Māori. I am one in a million. Did you get that one Matt Doocey? You liked that one you smiled. I am one in a million. I am 20 percent of this country. I expect nothing less than 20 percent of the total Budget in this country. That's what I expect in a kāwanatanga space. Not only that on top of if I make up 50 percent of the male prison population then te Iwi Māori should receive 50 percent of that budget. If I make up 64 percent of the female prison population I deserve that proportion of the budget. If Māori tamariki make up 80 percent of Oranga Tamariki I deserve that proportion of the budget. This is what a Budget should like for Māori in a kāwanatanga space. We are all taxpayers. We're all ratepayers. Remember that this Government continues to make its funds and its money and its ability to have a Budget on stolen Māori land assets and resources. This is what your Budget should look like.There is no mention of Māori within Vote Health or Vote Education. Hey let's look at Matatini—you're patting yourselves on the back for that. Matatini was given $38 million by Labour. You have given it $48 million over three years which is less than the annual receiving of Matatini. It's less; it's $16 million a year over three years. This is what you are proposing.If this Budget reflected our population that's what your Budget should look like. We want by Māori for Māori to Māori kaupapa—not by Pākehā for Māori we've had enough of that. Here is your problem: you have created the colonial trauma the colonial violence and what you do is you then reward yourselves by ensuring that you fund yourself on the trauma that you have created amongst our people. [Interruption] You might want to listen to this. You have created the trauma amongst our people and then you have the cheek—the absolute cheek—to think you can rehabilitate us. That is a cheek to think you can impose your colonial violence and trauma on to us and then think that you can rehabilitate us to continue to fund yourselves on the trauma that you've created amongst our people. It is an absolute cheek and today we declare that that stops.We have started the conversation amongst ourselves. Be patient. We've allowed you 150 years to establish yourselves here as a Parliament. Today we have started the conversation we started the wānanga to organise ourselves in the rangatiratanga space. We're not denying kāwanatanga because my tūpuna consented to kāwanatanga but they also protected the pre-existing rights of tangata whenua. Today we have started the revolution in regards to us organising ourselves in our rangatiratanga space. You must be patient. You have had 150 years. You must be patient whilst we wānanga this amongst ourselves to look at what a situationship looks like between kāwanatanga and rangatiratanga.Debbie Ngarewa-Packer: Not transactional.RAWIRI WAITITI: It is not transactional—it is not transactional. We are in a transformative space and it's happening to indigenous peoples all over the world. This is what your Budget should reflect. If we make up a million people in this country—20 percent—20 percent of the Budget should come to by Māori for Māori to Māori kaupapa. You cannot rehabilitate us after damaging us traumatising us inflicting violence on to us. You cannot. It is time to have a serious conversation about how you support tangata whenua to bring ourselves out from underneath the bonnet of colonial violence. Allow us the time to organise. Be patient so that we can look at what rangatiratanga and kāwanatanga situationship would look like because our relationship is with the Crown; it's not with Parliament—our relationship is with the Crown: mana to mana. Parliament is a mahi space and it's a situationship where we should be coming together for certain situations to be able to support each other. The problem is that we have been made to feel like second-class citizens in our own country for far too long. We will not allow that to happen any more. This is what this Budget should reflect. Be patient. Ko tāku ki taku Iwi Māori [This is my message to my people]: be courageous. We must step into this space. We must organise ourselves create rangatiratanga to be able to talk to kāwanatanga about how we bring ourselves out from underneath the bonnet of colonial violence.This is what a Budget should like. This is what Aotearoa hou looks like. This is not a you and us. This is about us organising ourselves and then looking at what a situationship looks like between us.We are organising. We are empowering ourselves. We are rising. Like a good rēwena bread we are bred different. We are bred different but we are rising. Koia hoki te mahi i tēnei wā.[And that is also what is happening right now.] This is where te Iwi Māori is going. I heard somebody say Oh why doesn't the Māori Party just resign if you want to start your own Parliament?" What rangatiratanga looks like to us is our business. If it's a Māori Parliament we want that's our business. Our movement has a strategy. We have a kāwanatanga strategy—this is it here. We also have a rangatiratanga strategy which doesn't sit in this place. This is what the Budget should be reflecting but it does not—it does not. It continues to support a white economy privilege. When my tūpuna came back from the war they were promised land ballots; they didn't get it—they went to white farmers and their mokopuna continue to benefit from that.You have cut us out of homeownership. To own a home gives huge leverage to a family. If we are 50 percent of the social housing waiting list we demand 50 percent of the stock. It makes absolute sense. These statistics are yours. This data is yours. The science is yours.If our people are dying seven to 10 years earlier than non-Māori why not allow us to access superannuation before that? Follow the science. Follow the data. Until the tide rises where we can all be equitably looked at and equality reins I challenge this Government to think outside the square and I challenge you to be patient while te Iwi Māori organises itself and upholds our part of Te Tiriti o Waitangi because we've honoured kāwanatanga but we've allowed you to assume that you have mana over us and you do not. That is the declaration we made today for our mokopuna. Kia ora tātou."
