Waititi RawiriRAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori): Ka tangohia taku pōtae. Ngāti Hinerangi tēna koutou.[Allow me to remove my hat. Greetings to Ngāti Hinerangi.]Unlike everybody else in this House—they get 10 minutes. As you can see I get five. So I'm going to try and get this out as quickly as possible. The Greens talked about being the spokesperson for Treaty claims. Because there's only two of us we're the spokesperson for everything. And so as you can see the commitment of Te Paati Māori tēnei rā. We are in 100 percent attendance of this reading today.Weraiti maunga tū mai. Ngā wai tapu ko Wairere ko Waiteariki e kore e mimiti. Te awa Waihou e rere rā e rere rā. Te rohe o Kōperu whenua Kōperu tangata e ngunguru nei i au au aue hā. Ngāti Tamapango Ngāti Whakamaungārangi Ngāti Kura Ngāti Tokotoko Ngāti Te Riha Ngāti Tangata Ngāti Tāwhaki me Ngāti Rangi ngā hapū whītiki maranga mai. Ngāti Hinerangi iwi maranga mai rā. Kei te mihi atu rā ki te hunga kua riro tītapu ki te pō. Ngā pākeke i roto i ō rātou wā te hunga i haere ki te pakanga e rere ana te toto ki runga i ō koutou whenua rātou i tū Māori nei i runga i tō rātou mana motuhake me te tino rangatiratanga te taonga tuku iho kei te tangi kei te tangi kei te tangi. Ka hoki mai rā ki a koutou ngā maramara o ngā tua iho kua tae mai nei i tēnei rā. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā tātou.[Stand tall Weraiti mountain. I acknowledge the sacred waters of Wairere and Waiteariki that never diminish and the river Waihou that flows continuously. Indeed it is the region of Kōperu lands and Kōperu people that rumble here. Rise Ngāti Tamapango Ngāti Whakamaungārangi Ngāti Kura Ngāti Tokotoko Ngāti Te Riha Ngāti Tangata Ngāti Tāwhaki and Ngāti Rangi subtribes. Rise Ngāti Hinerangi people. I acknowledge the many that have departed to the night. The elders of their particular era; the ones who went to war who shed blood on your lands those who stood as Māori for their autonomy their sovereignty and their heritage I grieve I grieve I indeed grieve. I now send my greetings to you all the descendants of those previous ancestors that have arrived here today.]I don't stand here as a parliamentarian or as the Crown to apologise. I stand here as a fellow target as my sister has put it. We have all endured the disrespect and the smoothing of the pillows of a dying race as history has etched. They took our lands. They took our foreshore. They continue to take our babies. But one thing we can never allow them to do is take our hearts our minds and our spirits.I acknowledge you all today for being the pillars of strength for your iwi and for your mokopuna. Although the total due is only worth 1 percent—in this process never ever should we settle for full and final settlements. Our mokopuna must continue to fight for the other 99 percent. We must overhaul the Treaty claims process and end the fiscal envelope. Would that have made an impact on the final sum? Absolutely. We must insert relativity clauses into the Treaty settlement to ensure all iwi have parity with Ngāi Tahu and with Waikato-Tainui kia mana ōrite [and be equitable with them].We must make all Waitangi Tribunal recommendations binding on the Crown. I acknowledge the mahi the barriers and the difficulties that this process puts our people through. It's a divide and conquer. I see you've gone through a tikanga process with Tauranga Moana.Kei te mihi atu rā ki a koutou. Kei te mihi atu anō hoki ki a Tauranga Moana. Engari ka aroha tātou e noho tahi nei. Ka haramai a Tauiwi me ā rātou ture ka wehewehe tātou.[I thank you all. I wish to also acknowledge Tauranga Moana. But I also pity us sitting here. Strangers came along with their laws and we were divided.]So I acknowledge the hard work you've put into this particular bill. I'd also acknowledge the first time I heard about this was by a PhD student Awanuiarangi Morehu McDonald—was the first time I ever heard about the Hinerangi claim. So e hika mā [friends] I've got 15 seconds left and I know a lot of these fullas didn't use up all their seconds—I wish I could steal some like they stole our things! But anyway my heart goes out to you. God bless you all. Safe travels home. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou kia ora tātou.
