Young JonathanJONATHAN YOUNG (National—New Plymouth): E ngā mana e ngā reo e ngā rangatira mā tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā koutou katoa. It is indeed an honour to be able to stand and speak in the third reading of the Ngāruahine Claims Settlement Bill. I want to acknowledge my friend and colleague the Hon Christopher Finlayson who has very aptly sincerely and deeply led the process through which we come to a conclusion today. I would also like to acknowledge Daisy Noble. In fact there are many in the House today to acknowledge but also Will Edwards John Hooker and Peter Moeahu. I would also like to acknowledge the Hon Mahara Okeroa and also all the supporting hapū and iwi from Taranaki who are here today.The rohe of Ngāruahine is where I was born and grew up as a young boy. We lived down the end of Rama Road and Kaupakanui is my awa. As a 16-year-old my first job was working for the Kiwi Dairies factory at Kaupakanui back in the day when we made cheese the hard way. I remember over that summer between my fifth form and sixth form losing 2 stone in weight in 6 weeks because of the hard work. And yes some of you might think I need to go back there. As a 17-year-old I left for Palmerston North where I trained to be a teacher but then as a 28-year-old I returned to South Taranaki where I taught at Ramanui Primary School in Hāwera. But I still travelled to Manaia several times a week where I played my rugby for Waimate.Some of my earliest memories as a boy are of standing on the ground down the Rama Road looking to Mount Taranaki—something that many of you would have done and still do. In fact your heart reaches out to that because you want to stand on your land and look to your maunga. I vividly recall doing the same when my father Venn Young passed away. Taranaki has remained constant and central in all of our lives. He would have loved to see this day and I am privileged to stand here in this House representative in some way of him as well as we come to this very very important day.As Minister Finlayson has said looking at the historical account we see the serious breaches that have happened to the people of Ngāruahine. So it is important on this day in the time that I have to acknowledge that but I also wish to look to the future as Ngāruahine are doing as well. As I looked and saw their document—their strategic plan of 2009 to 2034—charting a new course I saw that strategic goal one was that a divided house cannot stand. So not only do they speak here today of their sense and purpose of unity but our hope and prayer is that today in the passing of this bill we would all be together and that there will not be a divided house in Taranaki but that we would see great support for this great iwi group.I would like to also mirror and reflect the words of Minister Finlayson when he thanked Ngāruahine for their great generosity in coming to this House negotiating and coming to this agreement with the Crown. We know that only a very small proportion of that which they have lost has been returned but our prayer is that this will become a strong foundation to go forward and to develop the economic base the cultural base and the educational the economic and the employment base for their future. I would like to speak longer but it is important for us this morning that we progress our bills in a timely way because we want to come to a completion today in these third readings. I commend the people of Ngāruahine to this House. I commend this bill to this House. I am so pleased and privileged to be able to stand in support of it. Nō reira tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā koutou katoa.
