Coalition agenda attack on Maipi-Clarke world
Hauraki-Waikato MP Hana Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke has used her maiden speech to attack the Government for attacking her whole world.
At 21 the Māori Party MP is the youngest member to enter parliament in its 170-year history.
“In only 14 days this government has attacked my whole world from every corner, health, taiao, wai, whēnua, natural resources, Māori wards, reo, tamariki and the rights of me and you to be in this country under te tiriti. E kore rawa au e tuku i te mana kia koutou ki te peehi nei i toku nei ao. Kaore au e mohio ki tetehi ao ano. I am not fearful of this place or this debating chamber,” she said.
