Kai te hoki au ki āna kupu i te mea mēnā ka pātaia te pātai he aha te hononga o ngā momo Hōri o ngā momo Kīngi o Ingarangi? Tērā peakai roto i tēnei kōrero a Irihāpeti te kōrero whakamutunga. Ko tana kōrero i te reo Pākehā i te tau 1990.[Thank you Mr Speaker and greetings to us the House. My role is to rise as a spokesperson for the Māori Party and to add to the sentiments expressed by the Prime Minister and indeed party leaders of the House of Parliament today to the successor of Elizabeth Victoria and the Kings of England those who became a king for that country and in time came here to New Zealand. My necktie is somewhat inappropriate here today because traditionally it should have been a blue one but that is fine. Let us leave that statement there.But I say to the House that Māoridom is quite aware of the Georges in the king movement of England. It is a name that has been very popular among generations of Māori in years past. To my knowledge there were six Georges perhaps in that house of Elizabeth and Victoria. Eventually as years went by some Māori made it to London and there they spoke to those Georges alluded to here.In 1806 King George III met Moehanga the first Māori from within Ngāpuhi. After that King George IV met Hongi Hika in the year 1820 and so it went on. The different Georges and Kings came and went over the years to meet Māoridom. Perhaps one would really have to go back to a statement Elizabeth made when she came to New Zealand in 1990. I go back to her words because if the question was asked what is the relationship is between the different Georges and Kings of England? Perhaps the final word is in this statement by Elizabeth. Her statement in English in 1990 was this .]“Today we are strong enough and honest enough to learn the lessons of the last 150 years and to admit that the Treaty has been imperfectly observed. I look upon it as a legacy of promise.”Tērā pea he wā tōnā ka tūtaki te Hōri pēpi nei ki tētahi o waku tamariki i tētahi o waku mokopuna i ngā tau kei mua i te aroaro me te kī atu ko ngā oati o roto i Te Tiriti o Waitangi ā kua whakatinanahia. Koinā pea tētahi tūmanako e tūmanakohia ana e Te Ao Māori i tēnei rangi tonu nei. Me mihi rā ki te taonga kua puta mai ki te whaiao ki Te Ao Mārama hei Kīngi mō Ingarangi mō Aotearoa. Waiho tēra kōrero ki reira. Ko wai ka mōhio ā ngā tau kai mua i te aroaro? Huri noa kia ora tātau.[Perhaps a time will come in the future when this baby George meets one of my children one of my grandchildren and say the promises made in the Treaty of Waitangi have been implemented. That perhaps is an aspiration that Māoridom is hoping for at this very point in time today. We must indeed acknowledge the treasure that has emerged into the world of light and life as a King for England and New Zealand. I will leave that statement there. Who knows what the future holds? Greetings to us all throughout .]
