GOVERNMENT URGED TO CEDE POWER TO MĀORI - JUSTICE ADVOCATES
The government is being urged to cede power to Māori so they can find their own solutions to improve the criminal justice system.
Two reports were published yesterday, one by the Safe and Effective Justice Advisory Group and the other by the Chief Victims Advisor.
Both recommend changes to the system, with an emphasis on 'by Maori for Maori' solutions.
The Te Uepū Hāpai i te Ora - Safe and Effective Justice Advisory Group is calling for the whole government approach to change.
In its final report out yesterday, it stresses the need to transform the justice system.
Group member Julia Whaipooti said a big part of that was transferring power and resources to Māori to create their own solutions, which Māori had been wanting for decades.......
