Advocates and state abuse survivors say it's now time for Oranga Tamariki to hand over power to Māori organisations following the resignation of its chief executive, Grainne Moss.

An advocate and state abuse survivor who presented at the Waitangi Tribunal Inquiry into Oranga Tamariki - Rawiri Waretini-Karena speaks with Māni Dunlop.
