Oranga Tamariki (Responding to Serious Youth Offending) Amendment Bill

E kore au e ngaro


1. Ko te Tarati o Te Korowai o Ngāruahine, (arā, ko Te Korowai) te Rōpū Mana Whakahaere mō

Ngāruahine iwi nō muri Whakataunga Take TiriE. Kei a Te Korowai te haepapa mō te whakahaere

me te whakatipu i ngā rawa whakataunga take TiriE a Ngāruahine – hei painga mō ngā uri o

Ngāruahine. Kei a Te Korowai te haepapa ki te whakapātari i nga kuapapa here ka tukituki pea ki

ngā hiahia o Ngāruahine.


2. Mō ngā Whakataunga Take Tiriti, ka hora te rohe o Ngāruahine, mai i Manga Taungatara kei te

pito whakateraki rawa, ki Manga Waihi kei te pito whakatetonga rawa. Tae ana te rohe hoki ki Te

Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki otirā ko te tupuna, Koro Taranaki (Taranaki Maunga)


3. Kāore a Te Korowai i te honohono ki ngā kaupapa tōrangapū, ā, ka mahi ngātahi me te

kāwanatanga ahakoa ko wai ki te whakaahu whakamua i ngā whāinga me ngā hiahia o

Ngāruahine. Waihoki, kei a Te Korowai te haepapa ki te whakapātari i nga kuapapa here ka

tukituki pea ki ngā hiahia o Ngāruahine.


He kākano i ruia mai i Rangiātea


4. Te Korowai o Ngāruahine firmly opposes the proposed Oranga Tamariki (Responding to Serious

Youth Offending) Amendment Bill. Our concerns regarding the Bill includes, but is not limited to:

a. Ineffectiveness of Punitive Measures

b. Disproportionate Impact on Rangatahi

c. Breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi



The Bill perpetuates an approach that focuses on punishment rather than rehabilitation,

undermining efforts to effectively address the underlying factors contributing to youth offending.
