Te Pāti Māori says the wealthiest should pay more tax, with that money going to housing, health, and education. They want to grow Māori-owned businesses and funds, protect Māori knowledge and data, and lift incomes so people can live with dignity. They also want to make transport more affordable and strengthen welfare support for whānau struggling with everyday costs.
“Make sure the wealthiest pay their fair share. Use that revenue to fund housing, health, education and whānau support.”
“Economic power is political power. This is about restoring what was taken and growing Māori wealth.”
“No whānau should be forced to choose between kai, rent, power, transport, medicine, or school costs.”
