Dame Tariana Turia on Oranga Tamariki Inquiry
A former Minister for Whanau Ora told a hui planning an independent inquiry into Oranga Tamariki's practices around taking Maori children from their families, it's just one aspect of state interference in the lives of Maori. About 300 people attended yesterday's hui in Kirikiriroa, Hamilton. Dame Tariana Turia is a member of the governance group overseeing the Whanau Ora led inquiry. She says she's sick to death of what's happening to Maori.
