Hayes JoJO HAYES (National): Tēnā koe. Ka nui te mihi atu ki ngā whānau whānui o Ngāti Tamoho.[Thank you. May I offer a warm welcome to the extended family of Ngāti Tamaoho.] I'm pleased to stand to take a call on the second reading of the Ngāti Tamaoho Claims Settlement Bill. As the previous speakers have said Ngāti Tamaoho is a Waikato-Tainui hapū and thereto are also beneficiaries of both the Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995 and the Waikato-Tainui Raupatu Claims (Waikato River) Settlement Act 2010. Ngati Tamaoho's marae are represented on the Te Kauhanganui of Tainui—of the Waikato-Tainui parliament. This is a great moment for them. As many of our previous speakers have said they are a small hapū but they have been able to get a voice on the Kauhanganui and that is a very good thing to have three voices there. Like all other claims that have come through this House I see the history of the Treaty claims process and how many of the iwi were displaced and were made virtually landless. Ngāti Tamaoho in the 1900s weren't an exception to that. Many of them have experienced over time severe social and economic marginalisation and deplorable housing conditions. I see that this bill is a step towards helping them to recover economically from those atrocities. Like all other Māori tamariki they were marginalised in schools and segregated and like my father smacked for even contemplating or even uttering Te Reo Māori in the schools. So therefore I say today as we start moving forward and a lot of things have happened to do with legislation around Te Reo Māori that that is not the case today. The settlement of Pākehā in the Ngāti Tamaoho rohe has resulted in a number of environmental issues and there's been little control over stopping that from happening especially around introduced flora and fauna in the rohe. But through this bill there has been opportunity for the iwi to—we have letters of introduction to the various ministries. But I'm sure that those letters of introduction are way after the fact of the relationship-building between Ngāti Tamaoho and those ministries already happening prior to those letters of introduction.This settlement provides for financial and commercial redress of $10.3 million and a cultural revitalisation fund of $590000. Some may say that's just a drop in the bucket; I say it's a good drop in the bucket. It gives them an ability to leverage that amount of financial redress and to be able to move forward. I know of other iwi that have had less and have come out and been able to grow their investments through wise counsel from a number of their people and from external consultation as well. My speech today is short for the second reading. It is short because a lot of what has been said in this House I do tautoko. I think that the Māori Affairs Committee does an amazing job with these Treaty settlement bills. This is another one of the Hon Chris Finlayson's mahi—the work that he did in the 51st Parliament. And again I take my hat off to the Hon Chris Finlayson because he has I believe gone down in the history of this and previous parliaments as being one of the best Treaty negotiation Ministers to have ever graced this House. So it is without hesitation that I too join with everybody in this House speaking to this bill and commend it to the House. Kia ora.
