reallocating $170m funding to iwi
National leader Christopher Luxon has committed to scrapping the Māori Health Authority and giving its $170 million funding to iwi instead.
Luxon's commitments come after he attacked the wider conversation of co-governance at Rātana on Tuesday calling it divisive and immature.
The National leader doubled down on his views on Wednesday, telling AM co-host Ryan Bridge co-governance is creating two separate systems for Māori and non-Māori.
Luxon said he had no issues with co-governance when it comes to local iwi working with local government to manage resources such as parks and rivers. But he said on a national level, it's not appropriate because it creates two separate systems.
