Earlier this year legislation was introduced to repeal section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act. Section 7AA emphasises the importance of Māori youth being placed with families that represent their whakapapa, as well as honour principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
The ACT Party, and Minister for Children Karen Chhour say this section is putting children in danger, removing them from stable families to place them instead with whanau that align with their whakapapa and iwi.
Oranga Tamariki say there is no empirical evidence to support these claims - causing widespread backlash, with many believing the move is simply pushing the ACT party’s ideologies.
Today Ngāpuhi, Aotearoa’s largest iwi are on a hikoi to parliament in opposition to this repeal, saying it will disadvantage Māori rangatahi, who make up the majority of those in state care.
For their weekly catch up producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about the intentions of the repeal, and the party’s feelings around the backlash.
On Friday producer Evie also talked to criminology lecturer at the University of Auckland Emmy Rakete, who is Ngāpuhi, about her concerns surrounding the repeal of Section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki act.
We also talked about the Ngāpuhi hikoi taking place today in opposition to the act, and what they believe the government should be doing next.
Last week the government finally launched their Youth Offender Military Academies, more commonly known as ‘boot camps’.
Since their announcement, the idea of the camps has caused a lot of concern surrounding their effectiveness and treatment of youth.
The first camp has taken in 10 youth, nine of which are Māori.
In Aotearoa’s history as well as globally, there is repeated evidence that a tough approach to boot camps hasn’t been effective in lowering youth crime, or rehabilitating the youth involved.
On top of this, the release of the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in state care last week has amplified concerns that these boot camps may contribute to a cycle of abuse, particularly for Māori youth.
Producer Evie spoke to lecturer in counselling, human services and social work at the University of Auckland Kendra Cox about what these boot camps may look like, and the potential impact they’ll have on Māori youth.
