Hayes JoJOANNE HAYES (National): Tēnā koe. Tēnā koe aku whānau whānui o Rangitāne rāua ko Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua ā nau mai haere mai! Nau mai haere mai ki Te Whare Pāremata i tēnei rā i te rā whakahirahira nau mai haere mai! Ngā mokopuna nau mai haere mai![Thank you and to you my extended family of Rangitāne and Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua welcome come hither! Welcome come hither to Parliament on this day of significance; welcome come hither! Welcome grandchildren come hither!]I want to say welcome to you mokopuna. I heard what Meka said about this being a historic day and as I look up into the gallery I see some of you are a little bit asleep. You have had to wake up early because your kuia and koroua got you up early but kei te pai kei te pai. I understand that. When I was a little girl my Uncle Kuki said to me that it does not matter if you go to sleep when they are reciting whakapapa on the marae because you are hearing and you are absorbing. You are absorbing so kei te pai. Kei te pai.I want to acknowledge my Mum who is sitting up in the gallery today—she is 85 years old; she is in her 86th year—and I want to acknowledge Mum's sister Auntie Hoagy who was married to Uncle Kuki. They worked really hard to get to this place today. While Mum has spent most of her adult years out of Masterton Mum always kept connected and Uncle Kuki always made sure that Mum was connected to the goings on of the whānau in the Wairarapa. So that is why I stand and I acknowledge Mum.When Mum came here last year to first put a signature on the deed I said to her: Come on up and sign—put your signature against this deed." and my Mum said: "Oh no no no no no." I say to you now Mum that I told you a little bit of a tiko that day because I said to you: "Come on Mum. The Minister said he wants to see you up here." So Mum turned around and said to our whānau sitting there: "The Minister wants me to sign it." So Mum it was a little bit of a tiko but I got you up there. I am so pleased that I did get you up there because we have photos and your daughter and your son who are overseas saw it and we are very proud of you Mum. So I just want to acknowledge you Mum.I want to acknowledge our lead negotiators for our iwi. Jason Kerehi you did a great job in getting the bill to where it is now in its second reading. You have worked hard. I know that you will have had a lot of people in your ear going "Rrr rrr rrr." but you held your ground and that is why we are here today. I want to acknowledge my cousin Ronald who is sitting up in the gallery as well for some of his advice—I am sure that he was one of the many voices in your ear as well—and Tīpene Crisp who is sitting up in the gallery also.I want to acknowledge Mavis Mullins the chair of Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā. Mavis you have done some wonderful things in your life. I want to acknowledge the fact that you are one of our wāhine toa for Wairarapa and Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua and you continue to do that and lead the light for wāhine in our area. So I just want to acknowledge and thank you Mavis for all the great work that you do in shining a light on our whānau of Wairarapa and Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua.Most of my colleagues will have spoken about what is in the bill for you today. It is our second reading. There are only a couple more things to go and we can watch this bill reach Royal assent and you can start moving on in your economic development which is something that I have been waiting to see for many years for Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua.I am really proud to be part of an iwi that gives back a reserve Pūkaha. I noted in a comment that you made Mavis that the gifting back of Pūkaha from the iwi is a very great thing but also that some of the iwi may wish to go and roll around down there when they want to. I hope to see our people down there as well.My kōrero is not going to be long because it is only just the second reading but in closing I want to say that it is good to see everybody here. I want to also mention that in the House today we heard a member talk about the completion of Māori bills. I can positively say that on the side of the House we do not talk talk talk but we deliver and that is our mantra. Leading into this—and I did not want to do this—next election this side will be delivering for all New Zealanders. With that I commend this bill to the House. Kia ora."
