Logie JanJAN LOGIE (Green): Thank you Madam Speaker. I rise to take a call probably a short call on behalf of the Green Party noting our support for the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day Bill. The Green Party is—no surprise—fully supportive of work-life balance and people having opportunity and time to reflect and as I think Minister Wood suggested step back from the focus of work and commerce. In that spirit we are all for this.I note the discussion from members of the Opposition—But what about the cost to businesses?"—and I do want to take just a moment to touch on that point. In terms of—I have spoken to people in small businesses that are feeling things are hard. I've also spoken to a lot of workers who are finding things hard. We are living in a really difficult time at the moment and a chance to rest and step back and reflect on things bigger than us actually feels very timely. To measure everything in dollars and cents may be to lose the value of everything. But even if we did measure this just in dollars and cents we saw through Matariki that the costings of that holiday could well have been on the positive side of the ledger to our communities and businesses as well compared to the costs. So we do need to keep our heads up as a House on the things that really matter.You may note in my speech so far I am not speaking particularly to the point of the role of the Queen. I do recognise that there will be—and there are I've heard over the last week or so—many reports of people who are grieving in this country and around the world and I acknowledge that. The Greens are all for those people being able to have that space to grieve. There are others in this country and around the world people like me who are not—who felt like the Queen was a titular head of State who my only connection to was through Te Tiriti o Waitangi which I recognise as our founding document in this country. I do want to acknowledge the Queen for her reflection on the imperfect implementation of that agreement between the Crown and hapū and iwi.So for the Greens and for myself I hope that when people are memorialising the Queen next Monday they remember—and I googled "What's the point of a memorial?" The answer I got was: "To remind"—and it was in italics—"people by connecting to the past present and future." So this is not just about one person; this is about us as a country and our connections and history. For me and for many in the Green Party we cannot disconnect this conversation from the conversation of colonisation and where we stand in relation as Crown and hapū and iwi. So I and the Green Party would love to encourage New Zealanders as they memorialise to look back and look at where we are now and ask themselves "Are we compliant with Te Tiriti o Waitangi? Are we compliant and enabling He Whakaputanga? And what is the next step in our journey?" Because this is a day of potential reflection.And I would love to encourage people to take that day to look up a report online called The Report of Matike Mai Aotearoa - The Independent Working Group on Constitutional Transformation which is around constitutional re-envisaging of this country that is delivering on those commitments that have been made by the Crown and the people of this country. This is part of memorialising; I would say this is core to this conversation—that people will have time for a reflection at a really important moment in our history. We recreate our present in moments like this which then creates a path for a future that recreates the harm of the past or sets us on a path towards something better. The Greens want us to take this opportunity to move towards something better. I will just end my speech there."
