Henare PeeniPEENI HENARE (Labour—Tāmaki Makaurau): That was a great contribution from my colleague Phil Twyford and I want to continue on Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) 321 in the name of the Hon Dick-ter"—ha ha! "Dick-ter"! I apologise—Dr Nick Smith. It is interesting; there is this big fuss being made about cows grazing on a marae and in the same breath the Minister says that Ngāti Paoa will have the opportunity to have their own marae to do what it takes to maintain the marae. Well I suggest to that Minister and to his SOP that you allow them to graze cows still on that land. Let me tell you why. Approximately a year ago when Te Puea Marae actually helped this country in a housing crisis I on behalf of that marae wrote to many farms wrote to many tribal entities and asked them for fresh meat and fresh produce. And guess who replied? Nobody. Guess who sent meat from all the flash Māori farms we have got which the Minister for Māori Development is trying to boost with Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill? Nobody.This particular SOP by the Minister is proposing that the council will stop grazing on that land in a management plan in the future. I would suggest letting the cows graze. I would suggest giving those cows to the marae that is being proposed to be built on Point England. Why? To sustain the people of that marae because that is what it takes. As a member in a Māori electorate and a person who grew up on a marae I can tell that Minister that that is what is required if you are going to take this seriously—to give Ngāti Paoa the opportunity to actually sustain their own people not build houses for this Government's failure to build houses and deal with a crisis that has been looming for however many years. Let the cows graze I say and give them to Ngāti Paoa.This particular SOP will say "No no cows are no longer welcome there." and it is going to be the council's obligation to actually have a management plan that will get rid of them—to get rid of them.Sue Moroney: Banning cows.PEENI HENARE: Banning cows. Well it is the two-legged cows I am worried about. Some of them are trying to push through legislation in Tāmaki-makau-rau to solve this housing crisis that the Government has ignored for so long and it is just not working. So this particular SOP says there in proposed new clause 10 "Management plan for remaining reserve land deemed to be amended" in subclause (1)(a): "on and after the expiry of 6 months from the commencement date … of the Reserves … farming or grazing are not permitted on any part of the remaining reserve land;". In support of Ngāti Paoa I want to once again acknowledge them and as a member of Ngāpuhi—and it is important that we mention this because my colleague Mr Kelvin Davis talked about the particular interests in Tāmaki-makau-rau. I want to acknowledge Ngāti Paoa because Ngāti Paoa actually gave my tupuna Patuone land over on the North Shore in acknowledgement of Ngāpuhi's place in Tāmaki-makau-rau. That is an important link that cannot be forgotten. So it is not just this particular land we are talking about; we are actually also talking about the relationships of Ngāti Paoa across Tāmaki-makau-rau—across Tāmaki-makau-rau. That is of importance to us because if we carry on with this bill and if we consider the ability for Ngāti Paoa to build a marae there is a wider conversation to be had here. This particular bill and this SOP being promoted by the Minister actually do not allow for that to happen. It puts the onus on the council to try to tidy up some of the failures of this particular bill—namely no more cows grazing on the land.My colleague Mr Michael Wood had a great interjection I thought on one of the contributions earlier talking about: "Well there goes Cornwall Park." There goes Cornwall Park: cows sheep—they all graze there at Cornwall Park. If time permitted—because I have only 30 seconds left—I would give the history of what my connection is to Cornwall Park which actually goes the point that Mr Davis was talking about about these places being important to all of us. I think that in this particular SOP the Minister is actually trying to tidy up a failed piece of legislation that has gone through and I think the contributions on this side have highlighted those failures."
