• Development of a broad range of sector skills including planning, economic management, project management, and construction. • Focus on a key issue which most affects Māori. • An independent Māori entity reporting directly to Parliament. • A national level kāhui as an independent entity based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi. • A regional and local housing system led by hapū/ iwi, using auditing processes to demonstrate accountability. With audit and measurement … to build relationship, mana, and sustainability. Responsibility to iwi, hapū and collective responsibility/tino rangatiratanga. • Independent Māori entity (cf Māori Health Authority) with an independent Māori voice. Collective responsibility and accountability are the tikanga Māori framework. A Māori-led housing entity would enable tino rangatiratanga in the housing sector. • Māori leaders could identify the steps to be taken or the most constructive model. 54 • • Research required on interface between the Kāwanatanga and rangatiratanga sphere. Safeguard independence of entity using statutory mechanisms. Strengths of this model: • Māori decision making by and for Māori. • Rangatiratanga. • Culturally appropriate housing that could enhance identity and well-being. Weaknesses and risks of this model: • Lack of independence from the Kāwana: the Māori Health Authority reports to a Minister, which does not achieve tino rangatiratanga. • Funding – if the entity is ‘starved’ and unable to carry out its functions. • Different perceptions and measures of success and accountability from the Kāwana and likely increasingly stringent accountability mechanisms the greater the autonomy.
