Submission on Oranga Tamariki (Repeal of 7AA) Amendment Bill
Mana Mokopuna strongly opposes the Oranga Tamariki (Repeal of 7AA) Amendment Bill.
Section 7AA is a critical step towards recognising and reducing the ongoing harms of colonisation and systemic racism that affect mokopuna Māori within the child protection system. A repeal now risks progress made, and would take our state care and protection system backwards.
