Just watched Guyon interview Tariana Turia and Sir Mason Durie on Q+A.   Will not be up on the web til later, but I have to say it left me with far more questions than answers about the policy.  Don’t get me wrong I am always interested in different ways of doing things when it comes to public services, and I like the notion of an outcome focus for the delivery.  But beyond that we still know very little about how whanau will access it, which families will be targeted, and the scope of the services/agencies that are included.

My overall impression was that we are going to see a modest pilot of around 20 existing Maori health and welfare providers being given some more resources to coordinate activities.  Not quite the revolution, but as everyone said, the proof will be in the pudding.
