Te Pāti Māori says the wealthiest should pay more tax, with that money going to housing, health, and education. They want to grow Māori-owned businesses and funds, protect Māori knowledge and data, and lift incomes so people can live with dignity. They also want to make transport more affordable and strengthen welfare support for whānau struggling with everyday costs.
“Tax is one of the ways we return power, resources, and opportunity back to the people who keep this country moving.”
“We will fight for an economy where our people can live, not just survive.”
“Māori prosperity cannot rely on permission from systems built to exclude us. Economic power is political power.”
