About the organisers

Ināia Tonu Nei was born out of Māori resistance to the lack of Māori voice at the Crown’s Criminal Justice Summit in August 2018. The summit was the flagship event of the government’s Hāpaitia te Oranga Tangata – Safe and Effective Justice programme which was established to help in setting and communicating the new direction for the New Zealand criminal (in)justice system.

Due to the lack of Māori voice at the summit, Māori attendees called for an intentional space to discuss a Māori response in reforming the (in)justice system and a call was made for a national hui Māori to be held. The Minister of Justice was in support and committed to the hui taking place.

Hui Māori was held in Rotorua in 2019. Over 200 Māori with extensive criminal justice experience attended, including those with lived experience, practitioners, Māori community groups, service providers, the judiciary, academics, Māori / iwi leaders, and musicians. At Hui Māori, there was a strong push to establish a Mana Ōrite model of partnership with the Crown, look at constitutional reform and begin decolonising the (in)justice system.
