pn617. Oranga Tamariki admits to "structural racism." And Sir Mark Solomon cites an example of "reverse racism."

"Oranga Tamariki, also known as the Ministry for Children and previously the Ministry for Vulnerable Children, is a government department in New Zealand responsible for the well-being of children, specifically children at risk of harm, youth offenders and children of the State." Wikipedia

The chief executive spoke on behalf of the Crown at the tribunal’s urgent inquiry into Oranga Tamariki’s removal of Māori babies, sparked by the attempted uplift of a baby from its mother at the Hastings hospital in 2019.
