Whaitiri MekaMEKA WHAITIRI (Labour—Ikaroa-Rāwhiti): Tēnā koe Mr Chair. Thank you very much. We are talking about Part 5 and like the Minister for Māori Development explained this introduces the governance arrangements that are part of this bill. For me I think it is important that we acknowledge the many submitters who came in front of the Māori Affairs Committee who raised—and there were varying views from those who submitted on this particular part particularly from those from existing governance bodies as to what it means for them and from those who maybe have desires to trigger some of these arrangements that are part of this part. I just want to acknowledge those who did come and what they did say. Like I said it was a mixed bag of people who supported the intention of what is trying to be achieved under this part. There were also some concerns they raised and I do want to table them in the Committee.Of course there were submitters who agreed that a custom-designed governance agreement to suit their particular needs is something that we need to support. They clearly urged the Government to provide education and support to fully understand the new provisions and I guess that has formed part of the Budget we heard last week—$1.8 million. Who said that? A number of groups: Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Ngāti Ranginui iwi and of course Willie Te Aho. They were absolutely saying that they saw the need there but obviously need some support from the Government to make sure that they fully understand what these governance arrangements are intended to do.Other submitters talked about wanting clear governance arrangements that are owner-appointed and governance bodies that operate owner-approved governance arrangements. They wanted to make sure that it is not thrust upon them—that as owners they both pick the governance arrangement that best suits them and also that they determine what their agreements will look like. Those submitters were Taurewarewa Urupa Maungatautari Interim Trust Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu and Wairarapa Moana Inc.Then you go to some concerns from some submitters who talked about the transition into the new governance model—and I mentioned that when I first started this contribution. They were from Ngāti Ranginui iwi Tuarōpaki Trust and Wairarapa Moana Inc. and Willie Te Aho. What it means is again having some clarity for those existing organisations and what this particular clause means for them in terms of transitioning. I think it is important that we also acknowledge that.I want to talk about what the Māori Land Court judges considered of the governance model and to back up my colleague Adrian Rurawhe about the complexity in this particular part in making sure that the bill does address some of the concerns that the Māori Land Court judges raised in their submissions. Importantly I also want to talk about Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Porou. In their submission in terms of Part 5 they also believed that the new governance bodies should be sustainably funded to undertake their governance roles and expressed concern that this will create economic strain. In Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Porou's submission to the select committee they raised again the issue around who would pick this up if they were expected to transition from their current structure to this new structure. I think that is again a very very valid concern which the key bodies that I have mentioned came before the select committee to address.I just wanted to set that platform. I want to come back to the particular parts but I think it is important that I acknowledge those organisations that have operated in this space for many many years—sharing their expertise with the select committee and raising those concerns again around education support around making sure they are owner-appointed and owner-approved governance arrangements and that the transition to the new governance is not a financial burden to those organisations. I will pick up the rest of my contribution later on in this debate. Thank you very much.
