Good on you Karen. I respect you and your work.

The entire country deserves the maths before any of this charter school stuff starts and to be informed of student selection criteria. Education needs more respect from all of society, the indifferent need to be made aware of what it benefits them and there children in blunt terms.

Those not there should have their wages stopped for that day. Including bonus and other fringe benefits. Just like poor schools attendance.

Can anyone explain why we cant write another treaty? A modern day treaty. Build NZ now and into the future?

It's only the stupid and uninterested that you are educating now Maori party, and even they are asking questions about the reverse racism in New Zealand

Thise dumb lazy politicians need to get their backsides into parliament that’s what us the tax paying public pay for.

Best earner for the lucky is the depredation and shortage, oh and waiting on vacant lots. Figure it out nz before your the last old person waiting for something.

Speculators get a better deal, end of story. The educated leave the young leave The bussness leave Parity or decline. Stop the rort by big bussness, building, super markets, banks, expert advice from global economic bodys. Bandwagon sending the machinary off shore.

Pathetic, disgrace, embarrassment as a māori from the Ngā Puhi iwi Karen Chhour as Act Party candidate racist Act Party. Creep Karen Chhour Kelvin Davis already doing alright concerning Oranga Tamariki. Nothing Karen Chhour creepy crocodile tears pathetic human and David Seymour little māori Ngā Puhi nothing but racist creep image outward body shows it

Not the tax its the rorting disparity and attitude to education in a holistic way.

All the ppeople at the coalface doing the interacting roll thire eyes. We live in a society and this guy thinks in individuail terms. Welcome to broke lobby america.

Your stooges for another country's , you know what's wrong about nz getting ripped off and by who. The police are on the front line and your abstract and estranged.

A lot of noise comes from that little shit stirring party.

Hi Karen Chhour, Have you read the victims reports of them being abused in state care?

Because sorry to say Maori are NOT special you are just like everyone else

please dont stop what you are doing or saying.

I have been privy to a maori boy who grew up in Australia who finds himself before the racist NZ parole board, the white middle aged twinset and pearls woke brainwashed woman ordered him to marae based training when that was the last thing in the world he or his family wanted for him. While there he fell in with a bad crowd and went on to commit further crimes. All he wanted was counseling on why he had a propensity for crime so he could understand how he might stop it. His whakapapa was 75% European and only 25% maori. It's high time this woke governmental (with mental being the operative word) institutionalised virtue signalling racism was stopped !!! not just Orangatanga Tamariki. Thankyou Karen Chhour you have my greatest respect for your integrity, commitment and great work you are doing . Well done to you and all the Act and coalition team settings things right again after 6 years of Liebour toxic destruction !!!!!

This phenomenon will go on forever until we scrap the Waitangi Treaty entirely from all legislation.

Learn from Jesse Lee Peterson" "Uniting the races with truth instead of dividing them with lies." Give it up Te Pati Maori, John Tamihere and Willie Jackson. Your days are numbered. The gravy train is over!

Wonderful Karen. God will bless you for your good work and I love the fact that you are no pushover, even when interviewed by a loathsome entitled reporter who has yet to learn that Ardern has fled the coop sometime ago. Maybe it's time for Tova to follow suit.

Keep up the good work Karen.

If you want a chuckle look up her internet review of a Glenfield supermarket... 🫣🫣

Don’t give up on protecting nz children you are doing a great job

The Oranga Tamariki Act is clear - the agency has a responsibility for prevention. Chhour is undermining that. _Karen Chhour has taken OT to war with valued frontline community providers._ _She denied they were cutting frontline services for weeks._ _She's up against the Children's Commissioner. OT can't prove their claims._ _And it's vulnerable at-risk kids who lose._

Well done Karen. You, and ACT have my full support.

Chhour claims she is " _relentlessly focused on the safety of children and young people_ " yet ACT's actions with respect to Oranga Tamariki funding are causing harms to them.

wow just the ignorance of this lady

Given the clear damage that the Coalition of Chaos is causing to Aotearoa NZ is it time for a snap election?

Why is the North Shore Womens Centre having to close after 37 YEARS? Because of a policy setting by Karen Chhour.

I Agree, Breakfest isn't worth watching. I'd be surprised if it's still around for much longer.

It's a pity my comment was taken down about statistic's and abuse. I was commenting / quoting about articles in Stuff an NZ Herald. Karen Chhour is right in what she is doing NZ ranks at 35th out of 41 developed countries for child wellbeing outcomes (UNICEF Innocenti Report) A child dies every 5 weeks in NZ as a result of family violence (UNICEF Innocenti Report) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to UNICEF, New Zealand has one of the worst rates of child abuse in the developed world. The level of abuse is the fifth-highest in the OECD, with an average of one child being killed every five weeks and 150,000 cases reported every year by Oranga Tamariki, the national children's protection agency.[1][2][3] Child abuse in New Zealand is defined under section 2 of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 as the harming of a child by physically, emotionally or sexually ill treating them through abuse or neglect.[4] Prevention of such abuse in New Zealand is seen as a high priority by the New Zealand government as well as relevant non governmental organisations due to the prevalence of child abuse cases occurring in New Zealand, particularly when compared with other developed countries. This response is consistent with New Zealand's obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at article 34 - 35 which deals specifically with Child Abuse. This convention places obligations on New Zealand as a state to protect the rights of the child and was ratified by New Zealand in 1993.

As a foster parent of a multi culture family. I would like to thank you that someone finally sees common sense in putting the right and protection of the child first.

Thank you Karen.

Te Pati Maori haven't lost the plot they are fighting back for maoridom. Kia kaha Te Pati Maori

Thank you Minister. Keeping our Children safe

Very few of these comments are genuine, clearly What is the wisdom in suggesting that any concerning matter is resolved as simply as suggesting that race is the sole basis? Where is the action that undertakes to improve on what is an insidiously foul and corrupt ant-Family Court? Who has been made accountable for the state care abuse and over 2000 complex complaints about Oranga Tamariki incompetence and collegial corruption acknowledged by the ombudsman? Cmon this appeal to emoticons is pathetic. But still I'm not attacking the person, sorry... can't think of her name, just another political mask, same again next decade no doubt.

acronyms and pronouns...it's about all they have...a very wise way to evade any concept of reality...and they get paid for being the leaders...what matrix did I get stuck in?

You are doing the right thing. You have a good heart. Keep up the good work. All good kiwi kids will love and respect you.

Thank you Karen ❤️🙏🏽

Cultural/racial considerations can still be present but the only instance when it should make a difference is if; There’s two households equally as safe and appropriate and one is of Māori culture/race and the other is not. If there is a discrepancy regarding safety and well-being then race is irrelevant.

Gotta love Meta AI direct approach. The 3% party's accusation of "wagging the dog" against the 9% party seems even more ironic. The 3% party is essentially saying that the 9% party has too much influence within the government, despite being a smaller part of the coalition. This could be seen as: 1. Attempt to create divisions: The 3% party might be trying to create tensions within the coalition or between the 9% party and other government members 2. Sour grapes: The 3% party might be envious of the 9% party's influence and position within the government.

Another situation showing the danger of displacing merit, i.e. fitness for purpose. THE number one priority is the wellbeing of the children

She looks like she is going to have a nervous breakdown. The body language and tone of voice. Her head is bearly above water.

Minister Karen Chhour I am Maori man, I want you to know. I fully and totally support what you are trying so hard to do! As a Maori I know sometimes in our culture ego, will out weigh the needs of the many. More urgent, are our babies, though still egos refuse to relent for the sake and safety of the baba. I admire so much, your strength and determination to do what is right for our baba. The Bravest Politition I've seen, in midst of battle.

Thank you for putting the child first, how it should have been in the first place!
