Allan KiritapuKIRITAPU ALLAN (Labour): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai. Tēnei ahiahi kua rongo mātou ki te kōrero o te pāpā nei ko Ruakere. Kua rongo a mātou tana kōrero. Kāore he rā whakamutunga kāore he rā whakamutunga heoi anō he rā tīmata o he ara hou. He ara hou mō tēnei Pire Haeata ki Parihaka otirā mō tēnei hononga mai i te whānau o Parihaka mō tēnei mō mātou ngā tāngata o Te Karauna. Nō reira kua rongo a mātou tō kōrero e pā.[This afternoon we have heard what the elder Ruakere has said. We have heard what he said. There is no end date there is no end date but this day is a beginning of a new path. A new path for the Haeata (New Dawn) Bill" in Parihaka and furthermore for this connection to the whānau of Parihaka for this for us the people of the Crown. Therefore we have heard what you have said.]As the people from Parihaka came into Parliament this afternoon—sometimes on days like today you can feel a sense of celebration; sometimes you can sense a feeling of perhaps an end and perhaps something moving or a transition to something else. But as the people came in today the feeling that I was left with in that room in the korero that I heard is that there are some days when the injustices of our history grip our feet and churn our stomachs and sometimes you just can't shake it off. Some days our colonial past—we remember just how unjust things are and we see in the people generations upon generations upon generations the trauma that has been carried by whānau anō anō anō and I was reminded of that as the people came into this House today.We heard the kōrero on that pae that today marks another day another dawn in a relationship that looks at and attempts to address a history that is marked by a State that has acted very poorly not just in 1881 but for generations upon generations there has been a consistent relationship of harm that has occurred between this House this State and your people. So I want to acknowledge that.It is about 10 years ago since I was last at Parihaka. It was to farewell—he was actually a young man at the time I think he was only 58—a bit of a nanakia passionate man loved his people loved his pā committed his life to the restoration of the mana of the stories of Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi and would never let anybody forget the role that this State played in terms of its treatment of the people of Parihaka. So I remember Te Miringa today and I acknowledge his children that are in this House Ti'ikura and Ngahina. While I was reflecting on Te Miringa last night I was actually having a bit of a laugh about some of the things he used to make us do—run around blimmin putting up posters for his Parihaka Peace Festival and many other things. But one of the things that got to me actually I was thinking—he passed away so young and had really committed his life to I guess the telling of the stories of the peoples of Parihaka and what comes when you are put into those positions or when you hold those positions close to your heart and who pays the price. So today in part for me marks a reminder of those—and many of you up there—that have dedicated your lives to the restoration of your stories the reclamation of our collective history and I acknowledge you all today.I look upon my reanga [generation] of peers that are in leadership positions for your iwi now. You can see the weight that starts to sit on those pokohiwi as you continue to fight the Crown or pursue justice for your people. May we all remember to look after each other because it's a long hard road. So in this short split speech I want to acknowledge just all of you and your stories and thank you for your continued history and practice of resistance. Tēnā koutou."
