An urgent hearing of the Waitangi Tribunal into the government's response to Covid-19 will wrap up today.
The case was brought by the Māori Council, which argues the vaccine rollout and rushed move to the traffic light system leaves Māori vulnerable - which they argue is a breach of the treaty.
This week, the tribunal has heard from Māori health providers and experts who've spoken of being sidelined, ignored and underfunded throughout the pandemic.
Yesterday, the Crown defended its response, saying equity has been a consideration at every step.
Reporter Jamie Tahana, who's sat through every minute of the hearing, spoke to Corin Dann.
