Fleming GregGREG FLEMING (National—Maungakiekie): Tēnā koutou ki ngā morehu. Ka tipitu tāku mihi ki a koutou i tō koutou kaha i tō koutou ngākau māhaki ki tō koutou aroha noa ki a mātou. [Greetings to you the survivors. My greetings come down to you due to your strength your humble heart and your unreserved compassion to us.]This is a heavy day and whilst there are comments that I want to make about my own electorate of Maungakiekie I want to first pause and acknowledge what this afternoon will truly be about what this day will be about and acknowledge your strength your grace and your perseverance in being here today. Can I particularly recognise and aroha mai e hoa kāore au e wareware tō ingoa heoi e rua ngā wā i mātaki au i te hōtaka o Waka Huia e pā ana ki tō kōrero. [Apologies my friend I will not forget your name however I watched the programme on Waka Huia about your speech twice.] Yeah. And there was a reason I watched it a second time. It impacted me deeply sir. To see you here today speaks to the gravity of what this kaupapa is so tēnā koutou. Huri ōku whakaaro āianei ki ngā rangahau kia tautoko ai ngā tāngata o tōku wāhi o Maungakiekie. [My thoughts now turn to the research to support the people of my place of Maungakiekie.] Because of the nature of today I really wanted just to turn my thoughts to those charitable organisations with which I've had the pleasure and the privilege of spending time with in my rohe in my electorate of Maungakiekie in these recent months since I was elected to support them.I want to say a mihi to Oranga Community Centre. I am staggered by the humble work that you do there in the suburbs of Oranga and of Onehunga and the number of whānau that you support there and the blessing and the hope that you bring. Likewise to the Onehunga Community Centre ki tōu wāhi to Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust to Harmony Trust.I recognise the work of Onehunga Citizens Advice Bureau of the extraordinary grace that is offered most nights of the week by Everybody Eats by the work of those at Dance & Arts Therapy at the Kindness Collective at Recreate New Zealand at the Māngere Budgeting Services at your office in Onehunga at Disability Connect to The Hearing House to those at the Dolphin and Factory Theatres and to the incomparable team at World Vision.I want to make special mentions to our own Police Constable Don Allan at the Onehunga station there on the Mall. He recently received a Community Patrols in New Zealand's Silver Shield award. This is rarely given out—rarely given out and it recognises and acknowledges his extraordinary service in bringing justice and comfort and hope to our community of Maungakiekie. So his boss Chris William who leads that team at Onehunga and to his counterpart Matt Williamson for his work in Mount Wellington and Ellerslie. I want to acknowledge the extraordinary and ongoing work of the patrollers of Community Patrols NZ in Mount Wellington and Onehunga and Ellerslie. And to your colleague and my new friend Rebecca Smith for the amazing work that she does in Neighbourhood Support in fostering support connection and safety in the neighbourhoods throughout Maungakiekie.I want to also acknowledge the work of Russell Grainger and his team at the Mount Wellington Community Trust. Russell I have seen and learned of your efforts for over two decades now and I am looking forward to leaning my weight and my advocacy to your work in setting up the Mount Wellington Residents Association and then and pushing on to build a secure home a place that will genuinely be a community centre for the people and the residents of Mount Wellington.In closing I want to bring to the House's attention one project. There are many that I'm working on now in this privileged role that I have in representing the people and the organisations of Maungakiekie but it is simply this. It is dredge please the Onehunga lagoon. This was the beautiful lagoon—once beautiful lagoon—that was set up on the foreshore. It was small compensation for Onehunga's loss of its waterfront when State Highway 20 was set up in the 1970s. For about three decades it was a beautiful beautiful lagoon. It is no longer and we need it dredged. And so I say please to Auckland City Council prioritise that dredge it and make it once again a beautiful asset for the people of Maungakiekie. Tēnā koutou anō.
