The Labour Party has announced a new policy of sanctions against Israel following a recent ICJ ruling. The ruling states Israeli has breached international law with their long-term illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
This week Ngāpuhi also led a protest to Parliament in response to the repeal of section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act. The section is primarily intended to give practical effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi within the act.
It measures and reduces disparities for Māori, creates partnership with iwi, delegates function of the Act to Māori organisations and ensures cultural competency of staff. It is not concerned with decision-making to individual children.
National Iwi Chairs Forum Spokesperson Rahui Papa told MPs, “with the scrapping of 7AA we believe more harm will come to our mokopuna.”
For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party Wire host Caeden spoke to MP Shanan Halbert about both of these topics.
