Volume:699;Page:18462. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]CLAUDETTE HAUITI (National): I rise to take a call on the Education (Breakfast and Lunch Programmes in Schools) Amendment Bill. This member’s bill is in the name of the Mana party MP Hone Harawira. But before I do take a call on the bill I just want to state that the member for Mt Albert made an appalling accusation in relation to the bill we were debating previously on paid parental leave and he is wrong.I am taking a stand to speak on this bill and I want to talk just a little bit about my relationship with the member of the Mana party Hone Harawira because I think it goes to the heart of this bill. Not very many people know this but HoneHarawira’swhānau and mywhānau grew up together in Auckland.Hone’swhānau grew up in Avondale and mine grew up in Mount Roskill.Hone’swhānau came from Tai Tokerau and mywhānau came from Tai Tokerau or my mother did and my father came from Ngati Porou. We were part of the shift of Māoriwhānau that moved to the urban areas after the First World War and the Second World War.My father andHone’s mother and father were probably the first members ofNgāTamatoa. There is a lot of talk aboutNgāTamatoa in the sense that a lot of people talk about the members of that organisation from around about the 1970s and 1980s. But in actual fact the genesis of that organisation started a lot earlier—probably after the Second World War. My father andHone’s parents were also supporters of Lieutenant Colonel Awatere. The talk at that time after the Second World War and through the 1950s and 1960s was about rangatiratanga and it was about manamotuhake. And it was about us coming into town into the urban areas so that we could work so that we could have housing and so that we could have a better education. When I say so that “we” could have a better education it was the tamariki like me my sisters my brother and Hone and his brother and his sisters.Hone was really privileged just like my brother and sister. In their generation they were sent off to boarding schools. Hone and his brother went off to St Stephen’s College and so did my brother and my sister ended up at Queen Victoria School. That was about rangatiratanga. That was aboutmotuhake. That was about Māoriwhānau sending their children their tamariki to school so that they could be the next generation of leaders.I do not believe that that background that life that education and that teaching from our parents back then in the 1950s 1960s and 1970s was so that we could then turn round and tell the State to feed our children. I do not think that when we marched in the “Not one acre more” protest against land confiscation with Whina Cooper—and Hone and hiswhānau were the absolute leaders of that as well—it was about us then turning round and telling the State to feed our children. I do not think that sitting up onTakaparawhā with thewhānauNgāti Whatua was for us to relinquish our rangatiratanga andmotuhake so that the State could pay for kai for our tamariki. And I do not think that those who protested against the raids onTūhoe thought it was about relinquishing our rangatiratanga andmotuhake so that the State could then turn round and feed our babies.Therefore I stand and with great regret say to my brother that this is a relinquishing of our rangatiratanga andmotuhake that I would never ever challenge this member on. I grew up with him I believed in what he said and this is not what I thought it would result in.Can I also add that the Internet Mana party was not something that I thought I would ever see this member—
