Matthew Rimmer<p>'At the end of last month, the Waitangi Tribunal wrapped up its hearing regarding the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora, or the Māori Health Authority. An urgent inquiry as part of the wider Health Services and Outcomes Kaupapa Inquiry, the hearings took place over the space of a week and saw dozens of expert witnesses provide their insights into the state of Māori health in Aotearoa. </p><p>Established through the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022 under the previous Labour government, Te Aka Whai Ora was an independent government agency charged with managing Māori health policies, services and outcomes. It was pitched as a pivotal step towards addressing the long-standing inequities in hauora Māori, grounded in a Tiriti partnership model. Its disestablishment on June 30, 2024, came less than two years into its operation.</p><p>“Te Aka Whai Ora was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only change Māori health outcomes, but to also change the health system,” said indigenous rights advocate and business leader Chris Tooley in his submission.' <a href="https://thespinoff.co.nz/atea/09-06-2025/tribunal-hears-what-was-lost-when-te-aka-whai-ora-was-taken" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thespinoff.co.nz/atea/09-06-20</span><span class="invisible">25/tribunal-hears-what-was-lost-when-te-aka-whai-ora-was-taken</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/nzpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nzpol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/nzlaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nzlaw</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/IndigenousIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousIP</span></a></p>

Matthew Rimmer<p>The Reserve Bank of Australia has faced a number of complaints in the past over misappropriation of Indigenous IP (from Malangi, Yumbulul, and the Unaipon family).

He was later paid $1,000, a medallion and a fishing kit.</p><p>The $2 coin has depicted the image of Gwoya Tjungurrayi, sometimes referred to as “One Pound Jimmy”, since 1988. Tjungurrayi survived one of Australia’s last recorded frontier massacres in 1928 where 60 men, women and children were murdered in the Northern Territory.</p><p>In 1995, the RBA released the $5o note, which depicted the author, explorer and inventor David Unaipon, from the Ngarrindgerri nation of present day South Australia.</p><p>Entries for the redesign close in April.'<br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/17/australia-5-dollar-note-redesign-first-nations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/australia-news</span><span class="invisible">/2025/mar/17/australia-5-dollar-note-redesign-first-nations</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/IndigenousIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousIP</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyright</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auslaw</span></a></p>
