New Zealand's largest iwi, Ngāpuhi, has marched to Parliament demanding an end to plans to remove section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act.
Section 7AA was inserted into the Oranga Tamariki Act in 2019 in response to concerns that New Zealand’s child protection practices were failing young Māori and their whānau.

Due to the immense volume of comments 1News videos attract, we've made the decision to hold all comments for review, and in some cases, turn them off entirely.
1News is a media outlet based in New Zealand, and could potentially be liable for any comments that defame others or breach New Zealand law. Our content receives thousands of comments each day, and we lack the capacity to moderate that volume without holding comments for review.
This decision ensures that our platform remains a safe and compliant space for all viewers. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
