Hipango Harete; Rurawhe AdrianHARETE HIPANGO (National—Whanganui): E mihi ana ki ngā hapū me ngā uri o te iwi o Ngāti Tamaoho. Nau mai haere mai whakatau mai ki tēnei wā te ao hou te wā o te ao hou. Ko au he uri nō Whanganui e tū ana au ki te karanga o te pire whakatau o tā koutou kerēme.[I greet the subtribes and the descendants of the iwi of Ngāti Tamaoho. Welcome welcome welcome to this time the new world the time of the new world. I am a descendant of Whanganui standing in relation to this bill of settlement for your claim.]Madam Assistant Speaker I take this call addressing you as the tikanga of this House requires although there may be moments that I do turn to acknowledge Ngāti Tamaoho.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Poto Williams): Kia ora.HARETE HIPANGO: I also acknowledge our former Minister of Treaty settlements the Hon Christopher Finlayson and the current serving Minister Andrew Little for all the work that has preceded them as this Ngāti Tamaoho Claims Settlement Bill advances to its final passage to be made into law. This is the bill of Ngāti Tamaoho—your claims settlement bill. Standing here is immensely humbling. It's also a tremendous privilege to be able to address the House and also the people in the formulation—the final passage of the making of your law.I stood for the first time to address the House in the second reading on 3 May and in doing so I referenced that as a younger woman I travelled through your rohe not knowing in the days when I studied as a student at Auckland University. I now know your history. I have had the privilege of serving as a member on the Māori Affairs Committee and as a result of that my knowledge of what your whakapapa and your stories are has been enhanced.I mentioned in the second reading of this bill that I would speak more substantively to the bill itself. So in saying that we acknowledge that this is a significant milestone for all of the hapū the iwi and the uri of Ngāti Tamaoho and I acknowledge all those who've worked on this settlement. It acknowledges the past wrongs of the Crown and that has been outlined within the bill—soon to be the Act—in clauses 7 8 9 and the apology specifically at clause 10.I will turn to the key messages that as a member of the National Party the National-led Government initiated the negotiations and it's acknowledged that there has been some level of grievance understandably and rightly so for this to have taken so long.Settlements help iwi unlock economic potential and boost the growth and development. As I look up to you all I see that the generations span. Your succession there is in place for your young ones to carry on the whakaaro and the work of your old people and those of us who are ageing in here with our young ones.Moving forward to the aspects of the bill—as you know Part 1 is a historical account and that has been relayed before the House. Part 2 addresses cultural redress and the revitalisation of those aspects of who you are and your environments and your people. And Part 3 is around the financial and commercial redress.So dealing specifically with those parts it's acknowledged that the historical account is detailed there—clause 8 the acknowledgments clause 9 and I move fast-forward through to aspects of the cultural redress. As you know your negotiators on your behalf sought under this settlement a $590000 cultural revitalisation package. That in part addresses the vesting of sites of cultural significance and that will come about on the date of settlement—Clarks Creek property Karaka property and Waitete Pā property are all to be administered as a historic reserve. These are your lands and you will embrace the responsibility as kaitiaki and mana whenua as you always have done.Hūnua Falls as well—with the joint vesting of that in your settlement trust body and with the Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Trust Ngaati Whanaunga and Ngāti Koheriki. Also the statutory acknowledgements outline—and this is listed in Schedule 1 of the bill—all those properties that will now come into the management of you as a people. Geographic and name changes of sites: there are 14 of those—21—and then the naming of 10 unnamed historic sites that you will give the significance of those as is part of your whakapapa.The bill outlines in considerable detail what those cultural aspects are around your revitalisation package and then the financial redress of $10.3 million and with the transfer of four sites back into your management into your kaitiakitanga.In closing it's been addressed before the House here that no amount of redress will ever be enough to compensate for the wrongs of the past. However I referenced in my opening that this is the new chapter—te ao hou—and that is a step towards the acknowledgment recognition and reconciliation. Ngā mihi nui ki a katoa.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): This is a split call—5 minutes. I call Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi.
