Davidson Marama; Pugh MaureenHon MARAMA DAVIDSON (Co-Leader—Green): I appreciate and will firstly acknowledge all of the love and aroha that I have received from across the House—is truly a beautiful thing. Thank you Madam Speaker for the opportunity to speak to this the Corrections Amendment Bill. In actual fact I will just pick up on some of the previous comments that I've just been hearing this morning and want to acknowledge the expertise of my colleague Tamatha Paul in this particular space.Firstly around Treaty principles and I know that this legislation concentrates a lot on the changes and around the conversation of the role of Te Tiriti; the role of recognising the unique status of Māori as tangata whenua; mātauranga Māori leadership; kaupapa Māori practices methods especially as they pertain to corrections work and their importance. We must not only not undermine that work but actually supercharge Tiriti mana motuhake the role of kaupapa Māori and Māori leadership in corrections legislation practice and provisions.There was a comment mentioned earlier about this country having a mature conversation. My goodness where has that member been? We have been having generations—generations—of conversations on marae in community in whānau. I'm really glad that we have got generations of experience of Māori non-Māori tangata Tiriti working together living together and actually improving our taiao improving our social justice improving our community relationships by having exactly that: a mature conversation not one that whips into fear and racism; not one that whips and dials into ignorance. It's actually one that upholds a vision for Aotearoa that builds us and brings us together in the very unique taonga that Te Tiriti is.So just putting really clearly on record that in this current bill you have got the Treaty provisions around clauses 6 7 8 17 18 and 19 particularly that relate to access to mātauranga Māori as far as is practicable and that's always sounding good and we need to ensure what that actually means in practice. So that's good.I also wanted to pick up—oh jeez that clock goes fast doesn't it?—in my particular contribution on the rehabilitation methods. I will draw on my experience as a former Minister for prevention of violence and the privilege that I had of working across Corrections and ensuring that Corrections itself was improving on the pathway to improving its own practice—to recognising for example having trauma-informed indicators of recognising the dynamics of when violence has been present in a person's background; when they are using violence when they have used violence what are the correct trauma-informed and rehabilitative supports?The overwhelming—overwhelming—evidence of kaupapa Māori practices in a way that can actually apply to prisoners of all backgrounds to rehabilitative efforts for people in prisons from all backgrounds from all communities that actually ensures full accountability—full accountability.Now listen the thing about hohou te rongo [making peace between entities] the thing about true restoration and rehabilitative practice is it actually is about bringing fuller accountability and accountability that is beyond just prison bars which often does not even begin to bring accountability—real accountability—to the people who have been caused harm and that those rehabilitative efforts especially the evidence kaupapa Māori - type practices that have been well well praised by report after report after report and if this Government is going to maintain a responsibility to ensure that they are being further supported rather than the ongoing funding cuts that we have continued to see through legislation after legislation in this House through this Government already.So I am again thankful for the opportunity to put on record the Greens—are we voting for this or against this?Tamatha Paul: Strongly against.Hon MARAMA DAVIDSON: Strongly against—strongly against—because of the points that I've just outlined and Tamatha Paul tells me that it's because it sucks. Strongly against this bill. So thank you Madam Speaker.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Maureen Pugh): The honourable member who's just resumed her seat I extend my very best wishes to you as well.
