CMM's Submission on the Treaty Principles Bill
Published on 27th of January, 2025
CMM Executive Director Jill Hawkey and Strategic Advisor Jane Higgins were honored to present to the Justice Select Committee today about our submission on the Treaty Principles Bill.
“In our work we see daily the impact of breaches of Te Tiriti. For example, among those that our Housing First Ōtautahi team works with, half are Māori, where only 13% of the Ōtautahi population is Māori. Among our social services clients and our preschool, again there is over-representation of Māori,” says Jane.
“Similar systemic inequities can be found across the country, over representation of Māori in poverty, housing insecurity and poor health outcomes.”
