style=\"font-weight: 300;\">A nationwide hui, called by the President of the Maori Women\u2019s Welfare League, is being held today to discuss the government\u2019s proposed changes to the CYPF Act to remove the emphasis on whanau, hapu, and iwi in the placement of tamariki Maori in care, and determine future action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cCYFS continues to stuff up and the government continues to look for blame elsewhere.\u00a0 Instead of working to bring whanau, hapu, and iwi together to make arrangements for tamariki in need, the government wants to cut us off from our kids altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cAnd worse than the finger-pointing, blame-game, it\u2019s a move driven by the same ugly racist and assimilationist agenda all over again: get our kids off us and make them no longer Maori.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cA huge mihi to Prue and the League for calling the hui. \u00a0Myself and the rest of the
