The sudden departure of Graine Moss from her Chief Executive role at Oranga Tamariki is a vital first step in a sequence of changes that must take place at the Ministry according to a group of wahine Māori leaders.
Dame Naida Glavish, Dame Tariana Turia, Dame Iritana Tāwhiwhirangi, Dame Areta Kopua, Lady Tureiti Moxon and Merepeka Raukawa-Tait are “over the moon” hearing the news saying it’s a principled and responsible decision by Moss.
“It has been a long time in coming but at least now we can see light at the end of the tunnel,” Dame Naida said.
