New Zealand Maori Party Response Plan Covid-19 Pandemic

Executive Summary :
** When the global Covid-19 pandemic hit in early 2020 it became immediately clear that tangata whenua would be the most at-risk group, just as our tupuna were in previous epidemics, such as the influenza pandemic of 1918 in which the Māori death rate was nine times higher than the Pākehā death rate [1].
** Government knew in February 2020 that a targeted Māori response plan and vaccination programme at the start of vaccination rollout were essential. The Government and Ministry of Health have consistently ignored the advice and recommendations of experts and tangata whenua.
** The government and Ministry have failed Māori. As of 14 November, Māori are 40% of all Delta cases, 46% of all active cases, and 30% of hospitalisations. Ministry of Health vaccination data does not account for an undercount in Maori vaccination rates. Māori full vaccinations (56.5%) are 22.2% lower than the national average (78.5%). If the advice had been followed, the Māori health response would be in a completely different position.
** Te Pāti Māori demand that the Government empower and resource a by Māori, for Māori response to lead the remaining Māori public health response and vaccination programme. This response will focus on vaccination, supporting Māori home isolation and whānau wellbeing, including physical, mental and spiritual health.
** We will uphold informed consent and choices available to whānau, hapū and iwi and not undermine the health response by unilaterally imposing government mandates. Instead, we will empower them to set their own tikanga. We will leave nobody behind.

Te Pāti Māori will:
** Empower and resource Māori to lead our own Covid-19 response
** Establish an independent statutory Māori Pandemic Response Group
** Abolish Government mandates
** Affirm autonomy to set tikanga for tangihanga
** Invest in holistic wellbeing
** Implement a Māori home isolation strategy
** Support whānau who are struggling and have been impacted by Covid-19
** Keep our international borders closed until Māori vaccination rates hit 95%

Solution :
** Empower and resource Māori to lead our own Covid-19 response
** The Government has been completely unwilling to meet their obligations as a Te Tiriti partner and share power and resources with tangata whenua. They have abused their power and breached Te Tiriti by ignoring Māori health advice, putting our people at risk, while targeting Marae and Māori rights in pandemic-related legislation and regulation [2].

Te Pāti Māori will;
** Speed up the establishment of the Māori Health Authority
** Transfer all Māori targeted DHB vaccination programme funding to Māori health and iwi providers
** Share all vaccination data with Māori health and iwi providers and vaccination teams
** Ensure ethnicity data across all areas of Covid-19 (including travel exemptions and MIQ applications) are being collected
** Ensure modelling and data analysis includes Māori population and takes Māori characteristics and Māori realities into account
** Amend the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 [3] to:
** Remove the power to enter Marae and private property without warrants
** Require all decisions made by the Minister of Health and Director-General of Health to be signed off by the Minister of Māori Development
