Support is being expressed for a challenge laid down by Kiingi Tuheitia in his annual address in Ngaruawahia yesterday.
In his wero, the King said Māori should find their own solutions for looking after and protecting children.
Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, chair of the Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency, says Kiingi Tuheitia is right.
She spoke to Susie Ferguson.
