#ManaakiWhānau
Cyclone Tam is here. If you can, stay home. Check on your neighbours, kaumātua, your tamariki & fur babies too. Charge your phone, fill the kettle, be safe. Aotearoa knows how to manaaki in a storm. Look after each other.

Cyclone Tam live: Tens of thousands without power, heavy rain in Northland
Roofs have been torn off, trees and powerlines are down, and nearly 100 emergency calls have been made as heavy wind and rain lash the north.

Mōrena e hoa ma,

Rain batters the glass, flags whip in the wind, and Pōneke hunkers down.
To everyone across Aotearoa look after yourselves and your whānau.

Stay safe, stay connected. He waka eke noa.

Tama Potaka helped throw whānau onto the street then shrugs it off like it’s not his doing.

You didn’t just cut emergency housing. You condemned people to sleep in cars, alleys, and shopfronts.

This is what state violence looks like, against the vulnerable.

Homelessness increase not necessarily due to government policy changes - minister
Tama Potaka says victims of sexual or domestic violence should not be turned away from emergency housing.
