'SHUT IT DOWN' - A CALL TO CLOSE ORANGA TAMARIKI
"Shut it down." That is the message for Oranga Tamariki from a prominent Māori leader.
The chair of the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency, Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, says Oranga Tamiriki has a toxic culture and has been riding rough-shod over families - taking babies without any consideration for the devastating, intergenerational impacts.
But Ms Raukawa-Tait says the practice of removing children should be shut down.
"I would prefer that we didn't have a state department anywhere near, particularly tamariki Māori. We have to accept, Māori have to accept that we will own our own issues, we will provide the solutions, we will look to the people who are in the communities right now and I'm talking very much about the Māori service providers – Whānau Ora navigators and others who are in the community.".....

'EMPLOYMENT PROCESS' UNDERWAY AT ORANGA TAMARIKI FOLLOWING RELEASE OF HASTINGS REVIEW
Had a social worker made and kept adequate notes there would likely never have been an attempt to uplift a baby from Hawke's Bay Hospital. There may never have been so much confusion and anger.
And the Oranga Tamariki staff sent into collect the child would not be the faces of a decision they had nothing to do with.
The Practice Review into the uplift case, released on Thursday, covers a list of failings, but had it not been for the social worker's inadequate record keeping none of those failings might have come to light. At least not now.
