A major health equity showdown is underway today, as the Waitangi Tribunal begins its urgent hearing into the Crown’s repeal of Te Aka Whai Ora. Dame Tureiti Moxon has raised serious concerns after the Crown withdrew its only witness and key evidence—just days before the hearing kicked off. Despite that, the Tribunal will push ahead. At the heart of this is a big question: has disestablishing the Māori Health Authority already damaged outcomes for whānau? And is the Crown still upholding its Te Tiriti obligations in the hauora space?
