Davidson MaramaHon MARAMA DAVIDSON (Co-Leader—Green): The motion was to move that this House recognise the safe restoration of Parliament's grounds and the selfless service of the Police Fire and Emergency Services Wellington Free Ambulance Parliament security and many others". I want to include our allied health workers particularly in our COVID response who do the COVID tests the contact tracing; and the social workers and particularly social workers who will need to be part of the community-building response and the immediate health wellbeing and safety response that is going to be necessary to weave a path towards wellness and healing for everybody including those who are at the forefront of that violent protest yesterday. The social workers and the community leaders across neighbourhoods across whānau across Aotearoa will play a forward front role in doing the weaving and cohesion work that I know we all want to also support.I join others in making sure that we have mana whenua recognition right at the forefront of our contributions today and every day and acknowledge the desecration that took place on their whenua and to their whakapapa and acknowledge that in the healing and restoration work I look forward to having their guidance right at the forefront of everything that we do here and everything that we do collectively across not just Wellington but Aotearoa.I want to acknowledge the courage that it took for the police to maintain as much of a de-escalation and harm minimisation approach as possible in the face of sharp pressure to both do something and restore a peaceful environment for all of the Wellington community. This is an approach that the Green Party has always insisted on and we acknowledge that that approach over the history of police here in Aotearoa has unfortunately not been applied consistently—and unfortunately there has been discrimination in the way that it hasn't and has been applied. So I acknowledge yesterday as being a really positive step in the way that we police in Aotearoa.I also acknowledge that I was standing at that window and watching people—people—being harmed at the front line including police. I was watching humans being harmed and that rocked me; that rocked me as someone just watching violence from the window. I want everyone to be able to recover physically spiritually and mentally from whatever injuries and traumas happened as a result of yesterday's completely unacceptable violence.If I can just focus on the violence that led to yesterday the violence happened long before yesterday. The very premise of that protest out there included among many unhinged purposes a resistance against the safety protections and restrictions that have kept people alive and well including disabled people who have wanted their voices to be amplified because they feel that their voices have been completely trampled over completely invisibilised and that the mandates have managed to particularly protect disabled people who around the world are featuring disproportionately in those who have been harmed and who have lost their lives to COVID. So I acknowledge them and the violence that was apparent in this protest long before people were picking up bricks and throwing them at other people and police.I want to acknowledge that I look forward to the police—as they have said they are going to be scanning for other people who were responsible for the physical violence that we saw. That is not the only violence that needs to be held accountable; there have been agitators—people who were nowhere to be seen yesterday who were right at the forefront whether it's Counterspin Media right-wing leadership and agitators who are responsible for spinning out disinformation and they were an absolute part of the violence yesterday and they also need to be accountable.The biggest prevention of harm would have been for the protestors to go home. That much is very clear. Now I also ask those protestors that any protest with a kaupapa has a clear purpose and values that would involve asking themselves: what of the children and the harm that was caused yesterday and asking them to be self-accountable. Thank you Mr Speaker."
