Coming up on Te Karere... The coroner rules the Kahui twins were fatally injured while in the sole care of their father Chris. Does this mean more charges are pending? Is a planned urban upgrade in parts of Auckland shifting poor families to the outskirts of the city? We have more highlights from the National secondary school kapa haka competition including a profile of the current champs. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Chris Kahui is strongly disputing the findings of the coroner over his twin's death but the coroner has ruled that the Kahui twins were fatally injured while in the sole custody and care of their father Chris Kahui. We now cross live to Anzac Pikia in our Auckland newsroom. Three month old Chris and Cru died as a result of brain injuries after they were taken off life support in 2006. Their father Chris Kahui was acquitted of their murders at trial. Their brain injuries were inflicted by an adult, according to the Coroner's report - no accident. Yet no one has ever been held responsible for taking their lives. Just released findings of a coronial inquest the twin's fatal injuries happened when the babies were in the sole custody and care of their father, Chris Kahui. There's no evidence to suggest Macsyna King, the twin's mother inflicted their fatal injuries. Chris Kahui knew the babies were very unwell and needed urgent medical attention but didn't act. The coroner says Mr Kahui's actions were not what's would be expected of a caring father with nothing to hide. Chris and Cru Kahui were fatally injured at this house where they lived with their mother... This lawyer believes it will be hard to charge Chris Kahui again for the deaths of the twin's. If the crown wants to re-visit this issue they need to get a better case or else it will be a waste of time. The report concludes that the twin's father didn't feed them anything between 18 and 24 hours. The reason why they didn't cry out for food was because they were already fatally injured. Police say they are still considering the evidence heard during the Coroner's inquest. Thank you Anzac, coming live from our Auckland studio. Recommendations have been made to prevent further deaths and abuse of children is part of the coroner's report. This includes child protection teams across the country to work with health agencies and police. So how will the government tighten up a system it admits is failing some children? Peata Melbourne joins me now from Wellington. Peata, what response does the Social Development Minister Paula Bennett have on this issue? Paula Bennett has held the Health Minister role for four years and believes there is still a lot of work to be done to address these issues. Communities and families need to get involved to break the circle. These children lost their right to life through violence. NZ is the fifth worse country in the developed world for killing their babies. She's looking at making mandatory reporting part of the law to stop these deaths but will it work. Paula Bennett was not Social Welfare Minister six years ago but the reluctance of families to report abuse still remains a problem. It's a concept we must all adopt say's Maori Affairs spokesperson for Labour. Tell the police; tell the parents Tell the police; tell the parents don't let it fester in the confines of the home. Looking forward to the future part of the answer could lie in the Whanau Ora, one stop shop model. So much more can be achieved within the family. Some family are already implementing Whanau ora Some family are already implementing Whanau ora strategy to strengthen their social issues within family groups. This afternoon a family has been invited to Parliament to outline Whanau Ora services. That was Peata Melbourne from our Wellington office. Whangarei is currently hosting the secondary schools kappa haka competitions. We'll show you performances from the top groups and focus in on former winners Lytton high school. will they take the competition this year? Lytton high school tries to make it two wins in two years. I believe we gave it our best. Hopefully we get good results from the judges on Friday. Lytton is known for their singing, it's the reason why they won two years ago. But the pressure is on to improve their performance this year. In our eyes there isn't a group like Lytton. But we know other groups are after us. They've left all the pressure and hard work on the stage and have come off happy and proud. Who knows the outcome? Rapaera Tawhai, Te Karere. After the break, Anwwwe'll have more highlights from the competition later in the bulletin. But coming up next... Is a planned urban upgrade in parts of Auckland shifting poor families to the outskirts of the city? We're unable to provide subtitles. Parekura Horomia, thank you for joining us. A major urban project in Auckland aims to improve the quality of life of residents in the area over the next 25 years. This will see upgrades and the replacement of hundreds of state houses. But is it merely displacing poor families to the outskirts of the city? This is a picture residents in Glen Innes don't want to see. It seems as though protest from these residents have been silenced. They're against the removal of 100 homes. Yesterday, Minister of Housing, Phil Heatley, was in Auckland to sign a deal with Mayor Len Brown, but residents weren't notified. The residents are afraid that the kura kaupapa of Puao Te Moananui a Kiwa will be affected by the Government's moving plan. Mana Party have claimed a victory for the GI residents, saying that the deadline for families to move has been changed to next year. Potaka Maipi, Te Karere. Joining us now from Rotorua is our Maori issues commentator, Keith Ikin. Tena koe, Keith. We're unable to provide subtitles. Keith Ikin, thank you for joining us. After the break we have the weather... To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.NZ. Returning to the Secondary Schools Kapa Haka Nationals, following are some of the groups who performed earlier this morning. This is Hato Paora College. They showed that the poi wasn't only for women. From Manawatu-Horowhenua, to the Waikato region, to Hamilton Boys and Girls school, Te Maurea Whiritoi. Waitara High School dedicated their performance to Hui Kahu, the voice of Poi E. We performed for our Nanny Hui. May she rest in peace. We head back to Manawatu-Horowhenua, to Turakina Maori Girls College. They urged Maori to support Maori boarding schools so that they will not meet the same end as St Stephens and Queen Victoria schools. Two days have passed and two to come, but what a competition. Rapaera Tawhai, Te Karere. That's all we have for today. Kia ora tatou katoa. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ on Air. Copyright TVNZ Access Services 2012.
