Quotation for Today, Wednesday 9 December

December 9, 2009

National’s Hekia Parata was surprised by that (comment by Pryor and admission that Families Commission had not asked relevant minister, Tariana Turia for a definition of whanau ora) and pressed Dr Pryor over it.

“I am just wondering, as an established position with crown funding, why you feel that you can’t comment on something that’s in your documents?”

Dr Pryor said she had given answers but was not going to provide a definition.

“I am putting a caveat around it for the simple fact that I am a middle class white woman. And so I don’t feel that I should be giving definitive answers.”

Ms Parata said she must be limited quite a lot in a whole range of areas.
