Budget 2024 and te Tiriti o Waitangi w/ Tatau-Urutahi shared leader at Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, Julia Whaipooti: 4th June, 2024.

The Budget 2024 has a notable lack of funding for Māori development and cuts to Māori housing.

In response, Te Kāhui Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, has urged the government to commit to te Tiriti o Waitangi. 

Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Tatau-Urutahi, shared leader at the Commission, Julia Whaipooti, about whether the Budget upholds te Tiriti and what it says about the government’s values.

She started the interview asking her what parts of the Budget concerned her.
