The Waitangi Tribunal in their Wai 2575 Report recommended the establishment of Te Aka Whai Ora (the Māori Health Authority) to remedy some of the contemporary breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Te Tiriti). Te Aka Whai Ora was the culmination of decades of Māori advocacy for the establishment of independent Māori health leadership, policymaking and commissioning. Under urgency, the new National-led coalition Government passed the Pae Ora (Disestablishment of Māori Health Authority) Amendment Act 2024 in February. In this paper we use Critical Tiriti Analysis (CTA), a five-stage process, to review the extent to which the Act is compliant with the five elements of Te Tiriti (the authoritative Māori text), the preamble, the three written articles and the oral article. We found that the Act had very limited Tiriti compliance and the potential to do great harm. We offered practical suggestions how this could have been avoided.
