Sosene Lemauga LydiaLEMAUGA LYDIA SOSENE (Labour—Māngere): Aua le kovana eUa e fa'afitiE te le iloainaO se fanata'aviliA e molimau tamaitima le afafine o KilisiO oe lava na e fa'apa ele fanata'aviliOh Governor you have lied. You say you don't know whose machine gun it was but the children and the daughter of Kilisi all bear witness that you alone pulled that trigger."I stand here today I welcome our Samoan community in particular our guest Fofoga Fetalai and delegation those who are listening at home and offshore. I began my talanoa my kōrero with a song a song that was written for the time a historical account of Samoa's Black Saturday when Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III was martyred during a peaceful march against New Zealand's and Great Britain's rule of Samoa. That particular incident: there was a horrific shooting by New Zealand military police of the Mau independence demonstrators in Apia Samoa. That particular day 11 Samoans died including the independent leader Paramount Chief Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III on Saturday 28 December 1929. For the record the Paramount Chief Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III was the great-grandfather of our former colleague Anae Neru Leavasa former Labour MP for Takanini.Madam Speaker on the walls of this House are 12 carved circular rimu memorial wreaths around the balcony and just above your head bears the name of significant engagement involving New Zealand troops in World War I. It's the memorial wreath and ribbon of Samoa's name engraved in there. Many New Zealanders do not know or do not understand that New Zealand administered Samoa for 48 years from 1914 to 1962. The New Zealand administration was worse than the German administration of Samoa 1900 to 1914 and in 2002 the Rt Hon Helen Clark former Prime Minister of New Zealand gave a formal apology.Madam Speaker you have heard my colleagues traverse today's bill and I want to in particular thank Teanau Tuiono and we remember our brother Fa'anānā Efeso Collins because we miss him. Madam Speaker you've heard Carmel Sepuloni deputy leader for the Labour Party. You've heard Barbara Edmonds finance spokesperson for the Labour Party. We are the daughters of the descendants of Samoa. We support this bill the Labour Party supports this bill and I want to thank the other parties for their support that they support this bill to the select committee process.I want to call and challenge the National Government. I want to call on you because you need to reconsider your position for this bill. Our Samoans have been in this country for decades. We are asking for your support that you would hear through the select committee—Samoans need to have their say. Many Samoans have served this country for many many decades and what legacy do we want to leave for our young people the future of tomorrow?So those are the points that I wanted to raise. As you've heard as you can see the Samoan community is here in force. You've heard Barbara talk about "685 to the world" because it's not just them up there; there's a whole global audience listening to us. Madam Speaker I really do thank you for the opportunity. I want to acknowledge all of our colleagues that are here from the Labour Party to support this bill through to the next stage. So Madam Speaker I finish off those words and I thank you. Fa'afetai tele mo le avanoa manuia."
