Model B: An independently appointed kāhui Kāwanatanga Rangatiratanga B Report to Parliament Kāhui National Māori Housing Sector Body A second model could be an independently appointed kāhui as representatives of the Māori housing sector that reports to Parliament. This model would enable the following: • • • • • • Māori making decisions for Māori – tino rangatiratanga. Establishment of agreed kawa – what is not negotiable in leadership, structure, and function. Responsibility and accountability. Location of Māori skills in one entity rather than spread thinly through multiple entities. Culturally appropriate outcomes. Development of a broad range of sector skills, including planning, economic management, project management and construction. • • Less bureaucratic battles such as those faced by kōhanga reo through Ministry of Education oversight. Focus by the Māori housing advocate on a key issue that most affects Māori through strategic oversight. Strengths of this model: • Response to Te Tiriti as tino rangatiratanga. • Integrated delivery of housing. Weaknesses and risks of this model: • The risk of inadequate funding. • Opposition from the current housing entities. • Stringent accountability systems. 55
